Marcel Duchamp's Mona Lisa

Marcel Duchamp's remake of the Mona Lisa features a mustache and a goatee. Also, the letters below her name, when pronounced in French state "She has a hot ass." It's a pretty bold piece because the Mona Lisa is such a famous work of art. Some people would see Duchamp's work as degrading but I don't think art should ever be taken too seriously. Part of the beauty of art is its ability to be interpreted differently by each viewer. This work is one of many Duchamp's pieces that challenges people to look at art in new contexts.
