Francis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction

"What I like is to invent, to imagine, to make of myself at every moment a new man, and then, to forget him, to forget everything." So wrote Francis Picabia, subject of the major MoMA retrospective opening on Monday—the first large-scale exhibition of this profoundly innovative, shape-shifting, yet largely unknown artist's work in the United States since 1970. Featured image is the nearly 10x10-foot painting, "Udnie (Young American Girl; Dance)" from 1913, which definitively surpasses the limits of Cubist easel painting, according to essayist George Baker.
