From surreal to tooreal.

" I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position"
Marcel Duchamp

“The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.”
Marcel Duchamp

“Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.”
Marcel Duchamp
