dc.descriptioninscribed upper right on a strip of black leather, in gold lettering: Broyeuse de chocolat 1913 "From 1913 on I concentrated all of my activities on the planning of the Large Glass and made a study of every detail, like this oil painting which is called Chocolate Grinder. It was actually suggested by a chocolate grinding machine I saw in the window of a confectionery shop in Rouen. Through the introduction of straight perspective and a very geometrical design of a definite grinding machine like this one, I felt definitely out of the cubist straightjacket. The lines of the three rollers are made of threads sewn into the canvas. The general effect is like an architectural, dry rendering of the chocolate grinding machine purified of all past influences. It was to be placed in the center of a large composition and was to be copied and transferred from this canvas onto the Large Glass." Duchamp quote from: Schwarz, Arturo, 1924- The complete works of Marcel Duchamp /Arturo Schwarz. New York : Delano Greenidge Eds., c1997. page 606en_US
