Tarentelle

Francis Picabia · Paris, January - early June 1912

This is Tarentelle, painted by Francis Picabia in Paris in the first half of nineteen twelve. Picabia moved through Impressionism, Cubism and Dada in barely a decade, treating each as a position to be tried rather than a faith to be kept.
