Catalogue Note
Jacques Villon (1875 – 1963) confesse à Pierre Cabanne qu’il se sentait isolé dans son atelier de Puteaux dans les années 1920 avec l’éloignement de Marcel Duchamp (1887 – 1968) à New-York d'une part et la disparition de Raymond Duchamp-Villon (1876 – 1918) d'autre part. D’une certaine manière, la Glissière ou étude pour Le Grand Verre par Marcel Duchamp, et la sculpture en plâtre de Raymond Duchamp-Villon présents aux côtés de Jacques Villon représentent les trois frères Duchamp réunis. (Pierre Cabanne, Les 3 Duchamp, éd. La Bibliothèque des Arts, Paris, 1975, p.155.)
