Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 by Marcel Duchamp was based in part on a chronophotograph, which captures multiple images of a subject in motion and displays them in sequence to create a sense of movement. Duchamp was inspired by this technique and its ability to break down movement into a series of static images.
