According to Michael Fried. Artists and other thinkers

Duchamp effacé is the title of a painting by Simon Hantaï, which he began shortly after his arrival in Paris and finished the same year, when he re-founded his pictorial practice on the "pliage" method that made him famous. Tribute or challenge – or both together? And what if Duchamp was not effaced, but transformed and re-thought throughout Hantaï's work on abstraction?
