The article focuses on the art work done by Francis Picabia. Picabia work depicts his development from Neo-Impressionism to Cubism to Dada. His works are exhibited in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Three-quarters of the hundred odd paintings and drawings shown are earlier than 1922 and the remaining quarter is a perfunctory sample of the last thirty-five years of Picabia's life. He painted a series of large works in which closed Cubist planes were combined with associative erotic themes. These paintings, especially "Udnie" and "Edtaonisl," have a formal probity and anthropomorphic potential which is exceptional.
