Cet ouvrage est le premier des quatre volumes du catalogue raisonné de Francis Picabia, un des artistes les plus importants et les plus provocateurs du xxe siècle. Le volume I couvre la carrière de Picabia depuis ses premières oeuvres impressionnistes jusqu'à ses tableaux cubistes et abstraits de 1912- 1914, qui font date dans l'histoire de l'art moderne. Ce livre tient compte des nouvelles lectures scientifiques et critiques de son oeuvre et pique la curiosité par des pièces moins connues. En plus des illustrations de toutes les oeuvres mentionnées, il comprend une introduction, une chronologie et une bibliographie. Les volumes II-IV étudieront le rôle fondamental de Picabia dans le dadaïsme, suivi par une série de styles figuratifs, puis, vers la fin de sa vie, par un retour à un art abstrait profondément personnel. Un addendum est prévu pour les tableaux qui referont surface après la publication des volumes initiaux et la majorité de ses oeuvres sur papier.

This publication, the fourth volume of an important catalogue raisonné of the work of Francis Picabia (1879-1953), includes paintings and selected drawings dating from 1940 into 1952. During the war years, while still residing in the south of France, Picabia was primarily occupied by figural subjects - multi figure allegories, female nudes, and glamorous female "portraits" - painted in bold illusionistic relief. Notorious even in his lifetime, most of these works are now known to have adapted photographic illustrations in older "girly" magazines and other popular media. Upon his return to Paris in the post war period, Picabia renewed his earlier interests in abstract and sometimes non objective art, still often drawing upon published sources ranging from prehistoric art to Nietzsche, and pursued frequent exhibition of his distinctive, constantly mutating responses to critical currents of the day. These included a series of severely reductive, subtly effective "point" or dot paintings beginning in 1949 - three years before ill health effectively ended Picabia's half century of artistic provocation.
