Description

Francis Picabia's life is revealed in this unique and intimate album, created by his last wife and creative partner, Olga Mohler. Begun in 1936, it remains an unfinished record of the artist's public and private lives, featuring souvenirs, sketches, newspaper clippings, photographs, and annotations that showcase Picabia's artistic and romantic spirit. This rich visual account offers a glimpse into one of the greatest yet least known creative partnerships of the 20th century. The album is a testament to the enduring power of art and love, providing a fascinating insight into the life of this influential artist. Distributed for Mercatorfonds, this album provides a unique perspective on Francis Picabia's life and work, making it an essential choice for anyone interested in modern art and its history.
