Eros is life - Rrose Sélavy - Hologram on cover
Duchamp is the first artist to reinvent himself as a woman through a literary and visual body of work: Rrose Sélavy is both a work and the origin of other works.
The signature 'Rrose Sélavy' appears for the first time on the tablet of a sculpture titled Fresh Widow 2, a scale model of a 'French window'; the title is therefore a pun based on 'fresh/French' and 'widow/window', with 'fresh widow' in French being 'veuve fris'. The spelling of the first name 'Rose' is then written with a single r. This spelling later evolves, and the first name is written with two r's, as 'Rrose', including in a series of photographs by Man Ray, in which Duchamp is dressed as a woman, made up, wearing a hat—see cover photo: hologram photo RROSE SELAVY tipped in on the cover.
