		While Picabia's note to Stieglitz is clipped and somewhat vague, it must have been comprehensible to the photographer if only because of his familiarity with the long and quite detailed account that Picabia gave to Stieglitz during his exhibition of abstract watercolors.
		In this, Picabia is merely recapitulating arguments set out in support of cubist painting, in particular the Puteaux cubism of Gleizes and Metzinger, with whom Picabia was close in the years leading up to his first trip to New York.

	Art in America: Picabia, the new paradigm - Francis Picabia, Neo-Classicism painting - Critical Essay
		"Francis Picabia: Singular Ideal" is a more typical full-dress affair, loose-limbed and a bit shaggy in its constituent parts, yet very strong and forceful in its cumulative impact.
		Picabia, the painter with the anti-painting stance, the uniquely light yet heavyweight temperament who challenged singularities of authorship and style, the gag artist/impostor engaged in surprisingly steady production--each of these Picabia personae still carries weight.
		Picabia emerges from these combined efforts as every bit the supreme Dadaist jokester and dandy I thought I knew, but also as more of a contender in the shapeshifter sweepstakes of late 20th-century and early 21st-century art than I'd ever imagined.

	Cerebral Undulations, Entr'acte
		Francis Picabia (1879-1955) was above all a highly influential founder of Dadaism, whose "object portraits" (Alfred Stieglitz as a camera, the "American Girl" as a spark plug) extended Duchamp's ready-wades toward collage.
		Picabia described Entr'acte as just that, "an intermission in all the conventions-glory, money, good and bad, or the absurd 'legion of honor."' A film conceived by Picabia and realized by Rene Clair, it was shown between the acts of Picabia's Dada Ballet, Relache, in Paris, December, 1924.
		Though he broke with Dada in 1921 and never officially joined the Surrealists, Picabia's work and writings (antibourgeois and pro-freedom at any cost) continued in a Dada vein, and he has been called a "para-Surrealist." In 1922, Breton listed Picabia, Duchamp and Picasso as the pillars on which the still prenatal Surrealist movement would rest.

		In the following months, Picabia transformed these mechanical portraits into larger paintings, referred to by most scholars as "mechanomorphs." Unlike the earlier portraits, these works were more elusive, less concerned with the accurate depiction of real machine parts, than in manipulating the formal properties of various fragments of largely unrecognizable machines.
		Picabia had described them in a letter to Stieglitz as "a purer painting of a dimension having no title, each painting hav[ing] a name in rapport with the pictorial expression, [an] appropriate name absolutely created for it."
		In transforming the modest portraits of 291 into large-scale paintings on board, Picabia was reenacting the process used in his earlier transformation of the small New York watercolors into the enormous abstractions painted upon his return to Paris.

	PICABIA / MAN RAY / DUCHAMP Trilogy at Jack Shainman Gallery
		Francis Picabia (1879-1951) played a central role in the founding of Dada, yet his subsequent stylistic shifts have contributed to his being perhaps the least understood of the three artists in Trilogy.
		One of the periodic resurrections of Picabia’s reputation occurred in the 1980s when the success of paintings by Polke and Salle forced a reevaluation of Picabia’s Transparency paintings.
		The etchings are fascinating not only in that they mark a return by Duchamp to draftsmanship after many years of abstinence but for the light they shed on Duchamp’s playful relationship to artists as diverse as Ingres, Rodin, and Courbet.

	Peggy Guggenheim Collection - Francis Picabia - 1915 - Very Rare Picture on the Earth
		Francis Picabia visited New York in 1913 on the occasion of the Armory Show, and this sparked off a series of machine images of which the Very Rare Picture on Earth is among the finest.
		Picabia’s iconoclasm, in the spirit of the Dada movement, consists of an ironic presentation of a non-functioning machine as a ‘rare’ objet d’art with erotic implications.
		The confrontation of gold and silver leaf on convex cylinders, together with meandering pistons and tubes, evokes an alchemist’s laboratory.

	Art in America: francis Picabia at Michael Werner - art exhibition - Brief Article
		Although Francis Picabia's paintings of anthropomorphic, often sexualized, mechanical forms from before and just after World War I are routinely exhinited alongside the art of his contemporaries, his subsequent work from the 1920s until his death in 1953 has received only infrequent public exposure, and rarely comprehensive at that.
		Picabia was a chameleonlike artist, instantly adopting and as readily discarding one artistic vocabulary after another.
		But whereas the work of those artists achieves a meaningful dissonance through a sundry aggregation of disjunctive motifs, Picabia's layered images serve to reinforce one another within each painting, coalescing in their signification into a unified expression or theme: in one case it is the seductive menace of his Portrait of Kiki (ca.
