      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Young Girl 1912</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Francis Picabia was, above all, a Parisian. Paris being the centre of the art world prior to WWII, Picabia sat like a spider in the middle of its web, consuming the varied meals that appeared before him.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_Udnie1913.jpg" alt="Udnie 1913" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Udnie 1913</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_DancesAtTheSpring.jpg" alt="Dances at the Spring"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dances at the Spring</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_Balance1919.jpg" alt="Balance 1919" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Balance 1919</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was born towards the end of the last great era of academic painting, and joined in each rebellion against it with enthusiasm, as did so many of his contemporaries such as Matisse and Picasso. But few could match Picabia’s eclecticism. He devoured each new movement, applying his formidable skills to forge new means of artistic expression from the moribund hulk of traditional painting. But it was, of course, this moribund hulk that Picabia and the rest had emerged from, like glittering, ungrateful butterflies. The academy provided their skills, their discipline.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_Papillons1929.jpg" alt="Papillons 1929"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Papillons 1929</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Early in life, Picabia was a follower of the Barbizon School, mixed with an imitation of Sisley. So at the mature age of 27 he was still in thrall to the 19th century. Matisse and the Fauvists changed all that, as did Picasso. Note his solemn cubist still life, done in 1909, and the timid imitation of Fauvist savagery in his Sierra Morena series (1909). It took Picabia a long time to get a grip on the revolution.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_StillLife.jpg" alt="Still Life"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Still Life</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_VirginWithInfant1935.jpg" alt="Virgin with Infant 1935" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Virgin with Infant 1935</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">But eventually he did. In 1910 Picabia met the Duchamp brothers and their notions of “ready-made” art. From then on, no art movement was safe from Picabia’s take on it. And he was by no means merely imitative, but showed real originality at times, not to mention a sense of humor.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_Cocolo.jpg" alt="Cocolo" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cocolo</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was a leading Dadaist, Surrealist, and Modernist- at different times. In the 20s and 30s he experimented with multiple perspectives, producing what he called his “transparences” (see “Hera” 1929, and “Corrida Transparence” below).</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_Hera.jpg" alt="Hera" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Hera</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_CorridaTransparence.jpg" alt="Corrida Transparence" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Corrida Transparence</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Picabia, for all his experimentation and vacillation, was consistent in one vital respect: his devotion to precision. There’s nothing sloppy or casual about Picabia. He remained true to his academic roots. Even his prolific output of slight works on paper illustrates care and precision. Picabia was to the end the most formal of radicals.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/picabia/Picabia_SelfPortrait1946.jpg" alt="Self-Portrait 1946" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait 1946</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today, Picabia’s work is housed in modern art museums all over the world, and perhaps in your own home.
