Round 7: Tossup 10

This artist produced a “Green Box” of notes for an artwork in which male figures are connected to a chocolate grinder and water wheel. Visitors look through a peephole (10[1])to see a headless (10[1])nude raising a lamp in a piece this person created 25 years after quitting art for chess. This artist left broken glass in a (10[1])window-like piece split between nine suitors and a bride. A 1912 painting by this artist was dubbed an “explosion in a shingle factory” for depicting a nude from several perspectives (10[1])as she descends a staircase. (10[1])A snow shovel is one of many found objects modified (10[1])by this artist, (10[1])including one signed “R. Mutt.” For 10 points, (10[1])name this (10[1])Dada artist whose readymade (10[1])Fountain is a repurposed toilet. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
