Francis Picabia : our heads are round so our thoughts can change direction : [Kunsthaus Zürich, June 3-September 25, 2016, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, November 20, 2016-March 19, 2017]Picabia, Francis, 1879-1953Among 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.Type of material - catalogue ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - New York : The Museum of Modern Art ; Zürich : Kunsthaus, cop. 2016Language - englishISBN - 978-1-63345-003-5COBISS.SI-ID - 858607
