LHOOQ ( French pronunciation: Ã, [? la? oo ky ] ) is a work of art by Marcel Duchamp. First conceived in 1919, this work is one of the so-called Duchamps as readymades, or more specifically ready-made ones. The readymade involves taking worldly objects, often utilitarians are generally not considered art and altering them, by adding to them, altering them, or (as in the most famous case of his work

Ikhtisar
The subject of the Mona Lisa treated satirically was explored in 1887 by EugÃÆ'¨ne Bataille (aka Sapeck) when he created the Mona Lisa smoking pipe, published in Le Rire. However, it is unclear whether Duchamp is familiar with Sapeck's work.
The name of the work, L.H.O.O.Q. , is a game; letters spoken in French sounds like " Elle a chaud au cul ", "He's hot in the ass"; " avoir chaud au cul " is a vulgar expression that implies that a woman has sexual anxiety. In a late interview (Schwarz 203), Duchamp provides a loose translation of L.H.O.O.Q. as "there is a fire below".
As with some of its readymades, Duchamp created many different versions of LHOOQ with different sizes and in different media throughout its career, one of them, unmodified black and white reproduction of Mona Lisa mounted on the card, called LHOOQ Shaved . This masculine woman introduced the theme of gender reversal, popular with Duchamp, who adopted her own pseudonym, Rrose SÃ © lavy, pronounced "Eros, c'est la vie" ("Eros, that's life").
The main response to LHOOQ interpreted its meaning as an attack on the icon Mona Lisa and traditional art, the attack of ÃÆ'Â © pater le borjuis that promoted the ideals of Dadais. According to a commentator:
The creation of LHOOQ greatly changed the perception of La Joconde (what the French call the painting, in contrast to Americans and Germans, who call it the Mona Lisa ). In 1919 the cult of Jocondism was practically the secular religion of the French bourgeoisie and an important part of their self-image as a supporter of art. They regard the painting with admiration, and the dazzling commentary and destruction of Duchamp is a major blow from the bourgeois epics ("fear" or substantially offending the bourgeoisie).
According to Rhonda R. Shearer, real reproduction is actually a partial imitation modeled on Duchamp's own face.

Parody of Duchamp Mona Lisa
Pre-Internet era
- Francis Picabia parodied L.H.O.O.Q in 1942 in his notes Tableau Dada Par Marcel Duchamp ("Dadais's Paintings by Marcel Duchamp").
- Salvador DalÃÆ' created the Portrait of the Self as the Mona Lisa in 1954, referring to L.H.O.O.Q. in collaboration with Philippe Halsman. This work includes photos of the wild-eyed Dalas that show the handlebar mustache and some coins.
- The Icelandic Illustrator, ErrÃÆ', later incorporated the DalÃÆ' LHOOQ version into the composition of 1958 which also included the still-film of DalÃÆ''s Un Chien Andalou .
- Fernand LÃÆ' Â © ger and RenÃÆ' Â © Magritte have also adapted L.H.O.O.Q. , using their own iconography.
Internet parody and computerization
The use of computers enables a new parody of L.H.O.O.Q. , including interactive ones.
One form of computer parody using the internet is juxtaposing the layers above the original, on the web page. In one instance, the original layer is Mona Lisa . The second layer is transparent in the main part, but opaque and obscures the original layer in some places (eg, where Duchamp is located mustache). This technology is described on the George Washington University Law School website. An example of this technology is a copy of the Mona Lisa with a different set of Duchamp superposition-first whiskers, then a blindfold, then a hat, a hamburger, and so on. This is a link to the graph. The essence of this technology (described on the previous website for copyright law class) is to allow unnecessary parody to involve making copies that violate the original work if only using the inline link to the original, which may be on the official web page. According to the website where the material is located:
The layers paradigm is important in computer-related or Internet-related contexts because it is easy to describe a system in which the person responsible for creating the composite (here, in accordance with [modern] Duchamp) does not make a physical copy of the original work in the sense of storing it in permanent form (fixed as copy) that is distributed to the end user. Instead, people only distribute material from the next layer, [so] the owner of the infringed copyright (here, in accordance with Leonardo da Vinci) distributes the material from the underlying underlying Mona Lisa layer, and the user's system the end accepts both. The end user system then causes a temporary combination, in the computer's RAM and the user's brain. This combination is a combination of layers. Framing and superimposition of popup windows give an example of this paradigm.
Another distortion that computers use L.H.O.O.Q. or Mona Lisa reproduce the original elements, thus creating an infringing reproduction, if the underlying work is protected by copyright. (Leonardo's rights at Mona Lisa will, of course, be long over if such rights exist at his age.) This is a link to a previous parody example, along with an explanation of the technology. (The animation was originally prepared by the late Professor Ed Stephan of Western Washington University.)
