Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 (French: Nu descendant un escalier n° 2) is a 1912 painting by Marcel Duchamp. The work is widely regarded as a Modernist classic and has become one of the most famous of its time. Before its first presentation at the Parisian 1912 Salon des Indépendants it was rejected by the Cubists as too Futurist. Yet the work was exhibited with the same group at Galeries J.
