From September 24 to November 20 2015, Galerie Andrea Caratsch is showing a selection of paintings by Francis Picabia (1879–1953).
Picabia’s art resists all categorizations. The ironic author, provocative painter, and “enfant terrible” of the Paris art scene of the 1920s became famous above all through his collaboration and friendship with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, his contributions within the Dada movement, and his much-noticed Dada colleagues. As a representative of the avantgarde and a renowned Dadaist, Picabia spurned contemporary criticism with his constantly changing style and unpredictable recourse to realism.
