"Peigne (Comb) is an iron comb similar to those used by the Cubists to paint fake wood, and bearing the date of Duchamp’s choice of it: February 17, 1916. In French, the name of the object reads as the name of the impossible necessity of painting. The verb peindre (to paint) can no longer be conjugated in the indicative, but is alluded to in the subjunctive: que je peigne! In French, this verbal mode also acts as an imperative; its best translation would be something between “I ought to paint” and “If only I could paint.” The pun in Peigne, its genius, is that it acknowledges and quotes the name of painting as at once necessary and impossible.
