    Marcel Duchamp was born in Blainville-Crevon Seine-Maritime in the Upper Normandy region of France,

    and grew up in a family that enjoyed cultural activities. The art of painter and engraver Emile Nicolle, his
    maternal grandfather, filled the house, and the family liked to play chess, read books, paint, and make
    music together.
    Of Eugene and Lucie Duchamp's seven children, one died as an infant and four became successful
    artists. Marcel Duchamp was the brother of:
    Jacques Villon (18751963), painter, printmaker
    Raymond Duchamp-Villon (18761918), sculptor
    Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti (18891963), painter.
    As a child, with his two older brothers already away from home at school in Rouen, Duchamp was close
    to his sister Suzanne, who was a willing accomplice in games and activities conjured by his fertile
    imagination. At 8 years old, Duchamp followed in his brothers' footsteps when he left home and began
    schooling at the Lyce Pierre-Corneille, in Rouen. For the next 8 years, he was locked into an educational
    regime which focused on intellectual development. Though he was not an outstanding student, his best
    subject was mathematics and he won two mathematics prizes at the school. He also won a prize for
    drawing in 1903, and at his commencement in 1904 he won a coveted first prize, validating his recent
    decision to become an artist.
