As promised, here is part two of the Francis Picabia exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in NYC:
I felt really inspired to make stuff after seeing this exhibit. I don't like everything that Picabia did, but I admire the wide range of styles that he explored. He was definitely a brave artistic soul and I so admire that! I think it shows a lack of intellect and curiosity when artists do the same work for a lifetime. To me, creating art is all about exploring and experimenting and pushing at boundaries — personal or otherwise.
If I had to pick one particular section of his work that I like the most — and that's hard to do — I'm most especially drawn to his "Transparencies" — the work where seemingly disparate images overlap:
How about you?
Thanks for stopping by!
Since it’s unlikely I’ll make it to NYC to see the exhibit, I am so appreciative of the opportunity to view it through your eyes. Thank you.

Definitely the transparencies. I thank you so much for introducing me to this artist and his work – especially the transparencies which I had never seen before. What fun to interpret them myself and play with today’s art supplies.

Thanks so much for this indepth look at Picabia an artist that I was not familiar with. His body of work is astounding and it is amazing how varied it is. I find the transparency concept very interesting and will probably explore this in my art. I have to say my favorites are his large canvas abstracts and his use of color.

Thanks for introducing me to Picabia–I can see why it would be hard to choose a favorite style, let alone a single work! Are we sure Picabia wasn’t at least six people?

I liked the heap of red and black shavings…. the question is why do I like it? What could that say about my brain? lol. Well, if there have been studies done to explain why, let us know. If art is an expression, what is abstract art saying? Thanks for the pics.
