Francis Picabia : our heads are round so our thoughts can change direction by
Anne Umland(
)
7 editions published in 2016 in English and held by 369 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Among the great modern artists of the past century, Picabia is one of the most elusive, given his extreme eclecticism and persistent acts of self-contradiction. Though known as a Dadaist, Picabia's ongoing stylistic shifts, from Impressionism to radical abstraction, from mechanical imagery to pseudo-classicism, and from photo-based realism to art informel remain to be assessed in depth. Similarly, the breadth of his practice, which encompassed poetry, film and performance is under-recognized. Each makes him a figure relevant for contemporary artists, while the career as a whole challenges familiar narratives of modernism. Francis Picabia presents over 100 paintings, complemented by works on paper, publications, and film. Featuring some 500 illustrations and 14 essays, it examines the full range of Picabia's oeuvre

4 editions published in 2002 in French and held by 98 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
F. Picabia (1879-1953) a souvent changé de style et de manière au cours de sa carrière (impressionnisme, abstraction, dadaïsme ...). Moins qu'un signe de versatilité, il s'agit sans doute de la marque de sa remise en cause constante de la peinture et de son utilité au XXe siècle
