To the chagrin of many within the budding Surrealist movement, he mostly turned towards chess for the better part of the next decade, playing Olympic tournaments and international championships. Yet of course he wouldn’t be Duchamp if he didn’t continue to revolutionize art, as well as our perception of it.
