Why Not Sneeze, Rrose Sélavy?
Rrose Sélavy is one of pseudonyms of the artist Marcel Duchamp. In this portrait, Man Ray allows us to see Duchamp’s all too masculine features, the long chin, the big nose and the hawkish profile. The effect here is seedy as if Rrose were a secret transvestite photographed in a back street studio, dreaming of what might be. It feels like a confession but with Marcel Duchamp, nothing is that simple.

Egon Schiele
