James Kalm continues to be both enchanted and exasperated by the late paintings of Francis Picabia. This tidy jewel-box of an exhibition presents a brilliant cross section of both the "ugly abstractions" as well as the "kitsch" works that have kept Picabia's name on the lips of painting aficionados for over half a century. Displayed are works dating from the mid 1930s to the early 1950s a period that saw the artist pushing his experimentation not only in the medium of paint, but into the realm of aesthetics and "good taste".

  • Picabia rules. Thanks James.

  • i thought it was a weird show. unfortunately because of the frames i thought some of it looked better in reproductions

  • Reminds me of Kippenberger.

  • The only thing that sucks in this video is your French. The rest is AAA.
