Opening Reception | Works of Avant-Garde Iconoclast Francis Picabia: Eternal Beginning

Opening Receptions, May 01, 2025, 05/01/2025, Works of Avant-Garde Iconoclast Francis Picabia: Eternal Beginning

Thursday, May 1, 2025, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Free

Co-curated by Comite Picabia's President, Beverley Calte and art historian Arnauld Pierre, this show is the first major exhibition to focus on the compelling final years of the French avant-garde artist's prolific career. This presentation features almost 30 paintings created by Picabia between 1945--when he returned to Paris from the South of France--and 1952, the penultimate year of his life. Representative of Picabia's restless artistic spirit, the works on view highlight his singular approach to abstraction, his iconoclastic tendency to repaint earlier works and his enduring attention to both surface texture and novel sources of inspiration.

In 1945, Picabia announced in an interview that he was searching for a 'third path' forward between surrealism and abstraction, the two dominant forces in postwar European art. Even as he rejected surrealism's emphasis on elaborate figuration, Picabia aspired to continue--through abstraction--the movement's engagement with the artist's unconscious and innermost sensibilities. During this period, he continued to extract and repurpose pre-existing visual material from a vast collection of images, and from his own earlier paintings. By merging discrete references and artistic traditions, Picabia developed visual and symbolic languages that were entirely novel.

Exhibition on view from May 1st through August 1st.
