A beautiful drawing on paper by Francis Picabia. The work measures 11 7/8 x 8 1/8 and is from a private collection.
He was a French artist and an important figure in the Dada movement. Chameleon-like in his ability to alternate between aesthetic models, Picabia left a model for future iconoclastic painters, such as Sigmar Polke. "What I like is to invent, to imagine, to become a new man at every moment, and then, to forget it, to forget everything," he once said.
