Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)

It seems I could learn a thing about simplicity from Marcel Duchamp the French painter of the Dada movement.

It has been said that his wife Teeny Matisse, once said she was struck by "how little space he took up."


I on the other hand demand more space than I have available. I need to start deconstructing the clutter I surround myself with.

This goes for travel you would think I would have minimalisim sorted but anything but, where as old Marcel was a master...

On weekend trips his baggage was :

Never a suitcase

Two shirts worn one atop the other

A toothbrush in his jacket pocket

That's it!
