1879-1953
He was born in Paris, France, his mother being French and his father Cuban.
He began painting very young, aged 16, working at the Cormon's studio.
In 1912 he went to the United States were he spent a few years working on several art reviews in collaboration with Marcel Duchamp.
Only in 1918, back to Europe, he got the first contact with the Dadaism.
Picabia, both painter and poet, was a great Epicurean and after experimenting Pointilism and Impressionism adopted Cubism as an art expression.
Picabia owes his place to the virtuality and restless curiosity with which he threw himself into Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism.
In fact, he was one of the main artists of the Dada movement.
