French Dadaist painter. Born in

Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti was the younger sister of:
She began her studies at the
École des Beaux-Arts in her native Rouen when she was 16. Her early works reflected
Impressionism and
cubism. At age 21, she married a local pharmacist but quickly divorced, moving to the
Montparnasse Quarter of
Paris to be near her brother Marcel and to expand her artistic career.
For female painters at the time it was difficult to get full consideration. However, because of her older brothers growing prominence in the arts community, at age 22, she'd her first major exhibit at the
Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
After the outbreak of
World War I, she served as a nurse in Paris producing virtually nothing until
1916 when
Jean Crotti returned to Paris, bearing news of Marcel and of the exciting art being made in New York. After the war, the first of her Dadaist works appeared.

Jean Crotti, whose painting she'd greatly influence.

readymade which involved suspending a geometry textbook on the porch and letting the wind and rain gradually tear it apart.
In 1920 Suzanne showed several of her works at the
Salon des Indépendants in Paris, along with
Francis Picabia and Crotti.
In
1967, in
Rouen, France, her brother Marcel helped organize an exhibition called
Les Duchamp: Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Marcel Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp. Some of this family exhibition was later shown at the
Musée National d'Art Moderne in
Paris.
She died in
Neuilly-sur-Seine (Seine-Saint-Denis), France in 1963.
