Whimsical, subversive, creative genious, enfant terrible... all and none of these categories could fully describe Francis Picabia's complex personality. His Art and life were so intrinsically connected that it is fairly impossible to determine which came first: whether his Art as a projection of his life, or this latter as the reflection of his artistic perspectives. In any case, both in life and his creations he would not even bother to distinguish between intimate, public, private, trivial or serious feelings, thoughts and impulses. This obsession with searching for the most accurate and genuine way of expressing his interior state led him to some sort of race against status quo and artificially established ideas, guided by the principle: “The only way to be followed is to run faster than the others”.
