| | Francis could paint and his choice of subject matter was, like most things he and his fellow surrealists did, way ahead of his time. | | | Looking at Picabia's paintings you have a sense that he knew we were about to be in love with things mechanical. | | | A smart guy who was Duchamp's friend, Picabia's art is also something we love. |

| | Picabia lived in Barcelona in 1916 and 1917; in 1917 he published his first volume of poetry and the first issues of391, his magazine modeled after Stieglitz's periodical 291. | | | For the next few years Picabia remained involved with the Dadaists in Zurich and Paris, creating scandals at the Salon d'Automne, but finally denounced Dada in 1921 for no longer being "new." He moved to Tremblay-sur-Mauldre, outside of Paris, in 1922 and returned to figurative art. | | | Picabia became a friend of Guillaume Apollinaire and Marcel Duchamp and associated with the Puteaux group in 1911 and 1912. |

| | Picabia could be motivated, according to the period, to repaint over existing paintings, either because of the scarcity of room and material or by a wish to obliterate a composition that no longer pleased him. | | | Olga Picabia at the end of 1984 (that is to say, well before the existence of the Picabia Committee) to show her several colored crayon drawings from 1909, and drawings from the « Cormon period » mounted on a board. | | | The Picabia Committee, after having considered the arguments M. Tarica has presented at length, let him know that to the best of its present knowledge the series of collages in question certainly could not be included in the catalogue raisonné of the artist, currently in preparation. |

| | Picabia then turned from Surrealism for a while to paint in a very representational style, but he resumed abstract painting in 1945. | | | Picabia began by painting Impressionist pictures, though he was never a true disciple of that style. | | | Picabia was one of the ultimate champions of revolutionary art. |

| | Picabia had described them in a letter to Stieglitz as "a purer painting of a dimension having no title, each painting hav[ing] a name in rapport with the pictorial expression, [an] appropriate name absolutely created for it." | | | In transforming the modest portraits of 291 into large-scale paintings on board, Picabia was reenacting the process used in his earlier transformation of the small New York watercolors into the enormous abstractions painted upon his return to Paris. | | | Throughout 1913 and into 1914, Picabia continued with his practice of "pure painting" as Apollinaire referred to it. |

| | Cerebral Undulations, Entr'acte |
| | Francis Picabia (1879-1955) was above all a highly influential founder of Dadaism, whose "object portraits" (Alfred Stieglitz as a camera, the "American Girl" as a spark plug) extended Duchamp's ready-wades toward collage. | | | Picabia described Entr'acte as just that, "an intermission in all the conventions-glory, money, good and bad, or the absurd 'legion of honor."' A film conceived by Picabia and realized by Rene Clair, it was shown between the acts of Picabia's Dada Ballet, Relache, in Paris, December, 1924. | | | Though he broke with Dada in 1921 and never officially joined the Surrealists, Picabia's work and writings (antibourgeois and pro-freedom at any cost) continued in a Dada vein, and he has been called a "para-Surrealist." In 1922, Breton listed Picabia, Duchamp and Picasso as the pillars on which the still prenatal Surrealist movement would rest. |

| | Art in America: francis Picabia at Michael Werner - art exhibition - Brief Article |
| | Although Francis Picabia's paintings of anthropomorphic, often sexualized, mechanical forms from before and just after World War I are routinely exhinited alongside the art of his contemporaries, his subsequent work from the 1920s until his death in 1953 has received only infrequent public exposure, and rarely comprehensive at that. | | | But whereas the work of those artists achieves a meaningful dissonance through a sundry aggregation of disjunctive motifs, Picabia's layered images serve to reinforce one another within each painting, coalescing in their signification into a unified expression or theme: in one case it is the seductive menace of his Portrait of Kiki (ca. | | | Picabia was a chameleonlike artist, instantly adopting and as readily discarding one artistic vocabulary after another. |

| | Art in America: Picabia, the new paradigm - Francis Picabia, Neo-Classicism painting - Critical Essay |
| | "Francis Picabia: Singular Ideal" is a more typical full-dress affair, loose-limbed and a bit shaggy in its constituent parts, yet very strong and forceful in its cumulative impact. | | | Picabia emerges from these combined efforts as every bit the supreme Dadaist jokester and dandy I thought I knew, but also as more of a contender in the shapeshifter sweepstakes of late 20th-century and early 21st-century art than I'd ever imagined. | | | Picabia, the painter with the anti-painting stance, the uniquely light yet heavyweight temperament who challenged singularities of authorship and style, the gag artist/impostor engaged in surprisingly steady production--each of these Picabia personae still carries weight. |

| | This blithe spirit soars even higher in a sampling culled from the twenty "pocket paintings" Picabia exhibited in Cannes in 1942, oil-on-cardboard throwaways the size of cigarette packs, each marked with an off-the-cuff parody of those scary archaic or tribal heads once synonymous with rebellious adventures in modern art. | | | (If Picabia can be thought heartless for maintaining his comic, bon-vivant style throughout the Occupation years, just remember that at the same time Matisse and Bonnard were turning out gorgeous still lifes.) And for further chutzpah, there's a happy/sad down of the mid-'30s that trumps Bernard Buffet's postwar career. | | | Now, in the twenty-first century, late Picabia has come to be such a cult item that it may start to reek of the same orthodoxy that made his early work canonic. |
