The rebellious spirit of the avant-garde

Initially influenced by Impressionism, he then adopts analytical cubism, before becoming one of the pioneers of the Dada movement, alongside Marcel Duchamp and Tristan Tzara.
For Picabia, art is a playground and a form of rebellion.
His works blend humor, irony, and imagination, rejecting all labels to embrace complete freedom.
