Robert Hue, chairman of the French Communist Party, views a mustached Mona Lisa by Dadaist painter Marcel Duchamp; it was lent by his party for the first time on Jan. 23, 2002, for the opening of the "Paris: Capital of the Arts 19001968" exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Duchamp's work, painted in 1919, bears the humorous title L.H.O.O.Q, which, when uttered quickly in French, sounds like "She is hot in the derriere." It has for decades adorned the office of the headquarters of the French Communist Party.
