Picabia was a French avant-garde painter, poet, and typographist. After experimenting with Impressionism and Pointillism he became associated with Cubism. His highly abstract planar compositions are colorful and rich in contrasts. Image © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris. [29925-3-16000]
