- Poincaré also wrote about non-Euclidean and four-dimensional geometry, and Duchamp's notes indicate that these ideas intrigued him. He especially liked the notion of getting three-dimensional perspective on four-dimensional objects, rather like the way a set of 2D representations, such as photographs taken from different angles, can be used to visualize 3D objects. Shearer thinks that these geometrical ideas influenced Duchamp's ready-mades--or, rather, his photographs of them, as most of the originals have been lost.
