I found a better link for the picture but I need someone sober to make it display.

That one is actually Nude, No. 3, a hand colored photograph that Duchamp made for Arensberg. --sparkit^TALK 15:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ==========

Under the Homage heading, perhaps the poem Nude Descending a Staircase, by X. J. Kennedy, should be added. This was also the title of one of his award winning books of poetry, published in 1961. See http://www.xjanddorothymkennedy.com, for instance. 64.48.129.20 12:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name of similar photographic technique?

There is a field of photography that looks very similar (long exposure + strobe light + moving person, like here: [1]). Problem is, I don't know the official name of it, searched for about 15 minutes. It looks like it has been invented by Harold Eugene Edgerton (no pics or a official term in that article, though). The most often used term is "stroboscopic motion photography", which I used in this article here now. But everybody is welcome to correct it (and create an article about it :-D). Thanks.
