life and work

Suzanne Duchamp grew up in an extraordinary artistic environment of the 20th century, as the sister of Marcel Duchamp , Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon . In 1919 she married the Swiss painter and graphic artist Jean Crotti . Their environment was shaped by a European and global internationality and determined their artistic development from the era of Dadaism to representational art and ended in high quality abstractions. The painting Multiplication brisée et rétablie (English: Broken and Restored Multiplication ) from 1918–1919 is considered to be a major work of her Dadaist work .

The Duchamp family grave in Rouen

In 1967 the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, with the help of Marcel Duchamp as the only living family member, organized an exhibition entitled Les Duchamps: Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Marcel Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp.

Much of her work is preserved by the Philadelphia Museum of Art , exhibitions have been shown in the Munich House of Art , the Center Pompidou and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti's tombstone is in the Rouen cemetery .
