3.

Add a paragraph discussing how Duchamp\u2019s interpretation differs from the traditional \u201creclining nudes in the art\u201d (google the phrase to see examples).\u00a0 What could this mean for the traditional image of the female in the arts (i.e., what do reclining women do as opposed to women walking down stairs?)?\u00a0 In the same paragraph, explain the connection between Duchamp\u2019s painting and the beginning of motion pictures.\u00a0 Write an additional 75 words<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
