I felt really inspired to make stuff after seeing this exhibit.  I don't like everything that Picabia did, but I admire the wide range of styles that he explored.  He was definitely a brave artistic soul and I so admire that!  I think it shows a lack of intellect and curiosity when artists do the same work for a lifetime.  To me, creating art is all about exploring and experimenting and pushing at boundaries -- personal or otherwise.

If I had to pick one particular section of his work that I like the most -- and that's hard to do -- I'm most especially drawn to his "Transparencies" -- the work where seemingly disparate images overlap:

How about you?

Thanks for stopping by!
