註釋A groundbreaking exploration of Francis Picabia's practice between 1945-1952--a remarkable period during which the legendary artist created paintings unlike anything he had produced before

The French avant-garde painter Francis Picabia was one of the great innovators of twentieth-century modernism, with a career defined by his restless, visionary approach. This book delves into Picabia's practice between the years 1945 to 1952--an incredibly rich yet largely unknown period of the artist's oeuvre during which Picabia created paintings unlike anything he had produced before. Essays by Beverley Calté, president of the Comité Picabia, art historian Arnauld Pierre and scholar Candace Clement shed new light on Picabia's work in this period, from the hidden signs and symbols buried in his abstractions, to the new painting techniques he employed, to the mysterious and fantastical reappearance of the 'dot' in his work. Marking the first exploration of this remarkable body of work, Francis Picabia: 1945-52 is an essential resource on a crucial period in Picabia's practice.
