'''Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti''' (20 October 1889 &ndash; 11 September 1963) was a French [[Dada]]ist painter, collagist, sculptor, and draughtsman. Her work was significant to the development of Paris Dada and modernism and her drawings and collages explore fascinating gender dynamics.<ref name="oxford">{{Cite web|url=https://www.oxfordartonline.com/view/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.001.0001/oao-9781884446054-e-7002021611|title=Duchamp, Suzanne {{!}} Grove Art|website=www.oxfordartonline.com|language=en|doi=10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T2021611|first=Marsha|last=Meskimmon|year=2017|isbn=978-1-884446-05-4|access-date=2020-03-10}}</ref> Due to the fact that she was a woman in the male prominent Dada movement, she was rarely considered an artist in her own right. She constantly lived in the shadows of her famous older brothers, who were also artists, or she was referred to as "the wife of" fellow artist [[Jean Crotti]]. Her work in painting turns out to be significantly influential to the landscape of Dada in Paris and to the interests of women in Dada. She took a large role as an avant-garde artist, working through a career that spanned five decades, during a turbulent time of great societal change. She used her work to express certain subject matter such as personal concerns about modern society, her role as a modern woman artist, and the effects of the First World War. Her work often weaves painting, collage, and language together in complex ways.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.artic.edu/artworks/134050/broken-and-restored-multiplication|title=Broken and Restored Multiplication|website=The Art Institute of Chicago|language=en|access-date=2020-03-10}}</ref>
