Francis Picabia : Catalogue Raisonn Vol. III (1927-1939) English / Francais
, Exhib Intern/ Mercator 2019, 2019 Hardcover, 424 pages, English/Francais, 305 x 260 mm, with illustrations, book in perfect order, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9789462302488.
This third in a planned four-volume catalogue raisonn of works by the French avant-garde artist Francis Picabia (1879-1953) includes paintings and selected drawings dating from mid-1927 through 1939. Innovative collage-paintings and flamboyant figural compositions known as "monsters" that dominated Picabia's output in the mid-1920s gave way, during 1927, to new artistic directions. The most important of these was an exploration of the concept of transparency in many forms, first through the addition of new elements to his own pre-existing works, then through the elaboration of tangled compositions, the so-called "transparencies," superimposing outlined figures, animals, plants, and other motifs of various origins. Picabia's characteristic refusal of consistency of style endured, however, and his production during the period also encompassed imposing representational compositions with firmly contoured and solidly colored forms, thickly painted topographical landscapes, curvilinear abstractions, and, toward the end, photo-based figural paintings foreshadowing his notorious painted nudes of the early 1940s.

The second of an important multi-volume catalogue project, this publication features work by Francis Picabia (1879-1953) that dates from 1915 into mid-1927. Beginning with Picabia's elaboration of a personal machinist aesthetic, the book continues by looking at the artist's central role in the formulation of the Paris Dada movement. That irreverent movement included Picabia's increasingly provocative mechanomorphic compositions, complemented by his unorthodox writings and graphic designs as well as socially powerful performances. The volume finishes with a look at Picabia's creations of the mid-1920s, which included memorable collages and flamboyant figurative compositions known as the "monsters." This catalogue raisonne offers scholarly readings of his work by major authors

This publication is the first of four volumes in the catalogue raisonne of Francis Picabia, one of the most significant, challenging artists of the 20th century. Volume I ranges from Picabia's early works as an impressionist in 1898 to his cubic and abstract paintings in 1912- 1914, that constitute landmarks in the history of modern art. This volume allows for new critical and scientific readings of his work and piques interest in his lesser-known pieces. Along with Illustrations of each featured work, the book includes an introduction, chronology , bibliography, and excerpts of relevant primary source documents. Volumes II-IV will explore his fundamental role in Dada, followed by a variety of figurative styles, a nd a return to profoundly personal abstract art toward the end of his life. An addendum is anticipated for paintings that emerge after publication of the initial volumes and for the majority of his works on paper. Cet ouvrage est le premier des quatre volumes du catalogue raisonne de Francis Picabia, un des artistes les plus importants et les plus provocateurs du xxe siecle. Le volume I couvre la carriere de Picabia depuis ses premieres oeuvres impressionnistes jusqu'a 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 curiosite par des pieces moins connues. En plus des illustrations de toutes les oeuvres mentionnees, il comprend une introduction, une chronologie et une bibliographie. Les volumes II-IV etudieront le role fondamental de Picabia dans le dadaisme, suivi par une serie de styles figuratifs, puis, vers la fin de sa vie, par un retour a un art abstrait profondement personnel. Un addendum est prevu pour les tableaux qui referont surface apres la publication des volumes initiaux et la majorite de ses oeuvres sur papier. Dit eerste deel van de vierdelige catalogus van het oeuvre van Francis Picabia, een van de belangrijkste en boeiendste kunstenaars van de 20e eeuw, werpt een nieuw licht op werken uit het begin van zijn carriere. Het bestrijkt de periode van de vroege impressionistische werken tot aan de kubistische en abstracte schilderijen in 1912-1914. Deze publicatie laat ruimte voor nieuwe kritische en wetenschappelijke interpretaties van Picabia's oeuvre en zet aan tot een verkenning van zijn minder bekende werken. Delen II-IV zullen Picabia's fundamentele rol in het dadaisme behandelen, gevolgd door een waaier van figuratieve stijlen en een terugkeer naar een hoogst persoonlijke abstracte kunst tegen het einde van zijn leven. Dit zal worden aangevuld met een addendum voor de schilderijen die na de publicatie van de eerste delen aan het licht komen en voor de meeste werken op papier.
