About the author

Francis Picabia (born François Marie Martínez Picabia) was a French avant-garde painter, poet and typographist. After experimenting with Impressionism and Pointillism, Picabia became associated with Cubism. His highly abstract planar compositions were colourful and rich in contrasts. He was one of the early major figures of the Dada movement in France and in the United States. He was later briefly associated with Surrealism, but would soon turn his back on the art establishment.
