With My Tongue in My Cheek

"With My Tongue in My Cheek" by Marcel Duchamp (1959) exemplifies Dada’s playful rejection of conventional art. Created as a self-portrait, it features a simple drawing made with pencil on paper. Duchamp’s witty title suggests irony and subversion, core aspects of Dadaism. The artwork embodies the movement’s challenge to traditional notions of art, emphasizing humor, spontaneity, and the absurd. It reflects Duchamp’s influence on Surrealism and avant-garde practices, blending concept and form into a provocative and understated commentary.
