I was flipping through a Duchamp biography during an idle moment a few weeks ago and ran across this bit which I read aloud to my wife about "Fountain."At Marcel's request, he [Stieglitz] agreed to photograph the Fountain... He was greatly amused, but also felt that it was important to fight bigotry in America. He took great pains with the lighting, and did it with such skill that a shadow fell across the urinal suggesting a veil."
