The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even

"The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even," also known as the "Cabinet des Figures," is a complex, large-scale artwork by Marcel Duchamp. It depicts a provocative, abstract scene involving a mechanical, molecular tableau where a bride-like figure is surrounded and interacted with by bachelor figures, symbolizing themes of sexuality, desire, and the tension between purity and temptation. Through intricate glass, metal, and electrical components, Duchamp explores the boundaries between art, science, and eroticism, challenging traditional perceptions and inviting viewers to interpret the symbolic interplay of man, machine, and emotion.
