L.H.O.O.Q. 1919

French artist Marcel Duchamp is often associated with his work during the Surrealist movement which he referred to as 'readymades'. These would usually be ordinary manufactured objects which Duchamp would tweak slightly, or reposition before signing and naming them art.

L.H.O.O.Q is a cheap postcard reproduction onto which Duchamp drew a moustache and beard in pencil and amended the title. Although this might not be defined as detournement as such, it enforces the idea of taking two elements and positioning them in a way that is somewhat an alteration from the original to form a completely distorted representation. The aesthetic and meaning of this is also reminiscent of modern graffiti art.
