The accompanying text is well written and clear. In fact, the text is probably more worthwhile than are the images. If you have a chance to get a large coffee table book of Duchamp's art, do that. The images in this book are simply too small to be of much use. However, the explication of the artist's career is interesting and worth reading.

Duchamp was one of the most interesting and pivotal figures in early 20th century art. This book is a good introduction. This book is best supplemented by a coffee-table Duchamp book. However, the analysis is astute and concise. It's not difficult to read, and it makes for a decent introduction to the artist.
