He became famous by exhibiting Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (1912) at the New York Armory Show (1913), and by being a founder of the Société Anonyme, New York (1920), an organization promoting nonobjective art. An intermittent visitor to New York, he led the American Dada movement that tried to convey the absurdity of life. He was also among the first to use mobile works and found (junk) objects. His glass, wire, and painted foil construction, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1915–23), was one of his last major works; he virtually abandoned art in his final decades and concentrated on playing chess. One of his most famous pieces was L.H.O.O.Q, a reproduction of Leonardo's Mona Lisa to which he added a moustache and goatee. He became a U.S. citizen in 1955.Marcel Duchamp
