No doubt the artist suffered from rubbing his Duchampiana oeuvre way too much.

Fractional Self Portrait with Étant donnés' Back Door
1943.03.12
1943. Saturday, New York City
"15 Early 15 Late Paintings," an exhibition organized at short notice by Max Ernst's son, Jimmy, opens at Art of the Century [5.1.1943]. Although the other artists are represented by both an early and a late work, just an early canvas by Duchamp is hung: Jeune Homme triste dans un Train [17.2.1913] from Peggy Guggenheim's own collection [20.10.1942].
The exhibition replaces one based on the magazine VVV organized by André Breton which was cancelled when Breton insisted that an advertisement for Art of the Century in VVV should be paid for and Peggy Guggenheim refused. Edited by David Hare with Breton and Max Ernst as editorial advisors, the first issue of VVV appeared in June 1942 with a cover by Max Ernst.
In the current number entitled "Almanac for 1943", it is Duchamp, now the third editorial advisor, who has designed the cover. On the front, overprinted with the title of the magazine, Duchamp has used a readymade print, Allegory of Death: a "bizarre horseman", armed with a scythe, wears a doublet decorated with the stars and stripes; his h=mount has the characteristics of both a globe and a horse, incorporating the sun above it and a crescent moon below.
The back cover has been fashioned with the assistance of Frederick Kiesler: a female torso in profile, drawn by Duchamp, has been cut out and wire netting inserted in the opening. On the last page, opposite the inside back cover, there is a photograph of Peggy Guggenheim's daughter, Pegeen Guggenheim, showing readers how to preform the "Twin-Touch-Test": "Put the magazine flat on the table, lift back cover into vertical position, join hands on both sides of the wire screen towards you."
