I am personally offended by ur username

I will take this as an inspiration to drop my username backstory.

One of my special interests is an artist called the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874-1927). Born in a small village in Germany (now part of Poland), she worked as a vaudeville performer in theatres throughout Europe before helping her second husband fake his death and move to a farm in Kentucky in the USA. Eventually Elsa made her way to Greenwich Village, New York, and entered the bohemian art scene there. She made found-object sculptures, often from old plumbing or unused machinery and tools. Elsa generally didn't monetize her art, and was rejected from most galleries she applied to, likely because of her open bisexuality, crossdressing, and lack of resources and money. In Greenwich Village, she met Marcel DuChamp. It was only after meeting her and being introduced to her found object sculptures that he began to make his own. It is also theorized that Baroness Elsa created the original version of Fountain, DuChamp's most famous work: in a letter recovered after DuChamp's death, he wrote that the signed urinal that is Fountain was sent to him by a female artist friend under a male pseudonym (evidence points to this being Elsa). DuChamp and Elsa's friendship ended shortly after DuChamp's release of fountain, and Elsa hated him until she died. The whole story reeks of cishet male privilege, of DuChamp stealing Elsa's ideas and achieving extreme fame and profit off of them while Elsa herself remained in poverty, largely unknown in the art world.

That's why my username is marcelduchampsucks.
