Overview

An iconoclastic poet and painter, open to everything that was ""other"" and different, responsive to any form of newness--not only in art but to such external realities as machines--Francis Picabia never needed to define himself as a ""modern."" ""Sur-modern"" rather than modern, he, like his early comrade Marcel Duchamp, was several years in advance of Dada and Surrealism and other avant-garde movements. A follower of nothing and no one, he, with Duchamp, was the true pioneer of modern art. A born innovator, he paid only a passing visit--and no artistic dues--to the avant-gardes of the day and anticipated all future forms of visual expression.
