Vestido bajando la escalera is a painting by Eduardo Arroyo.[1] It belongs to the collection of the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, in València.[1] It is part of the Blind Painters series.[2]
Arroyo, who exiled himself in Paris during the 1960s and attempted to become a writer, switched into the painting in the 1970s.[1] Alongside Gilles Aillaud and Antonio Recalcati, they collectively create the painting Vivre et laisser mourir ou la fin tragique de Marcel Duchamp, a work in eight pieces intended to criticize the contemporary French art.[1] Vestido bajando la escalera was intended to be a continuation of the previous one, as well as a pop art[3] counterpoint to Duchamp's Nu descendant un escalier.[1] Unlike Duschamp's work, here the suit does not descend the stairs, but just seems to be floating, an scenery that has been regarded as criticism against the accommodation of art.[1]
