EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled 'Man of Profile Upright Washing' by Francis Picabia captures a moment in time that is both abstract and anatomical. The man in the image stands upright with his arm raised, showcasing a unique hand gesture that adds to the overall cubist style of the piece.
Picabia's early works were influenced by Impressionism, but after 1912 he transitioned into a more abstract form of cubism with orphic elements, which ultimately contributed to the Dadaism movement. This particular piece exemplifies his innovative approach to art, blending elements of anatomy and posture in a way that challenges traditional artistic norms.
The stark contrast between light and dark in this black and white composition adds depth to the man's physique as he engages in what appears to be an exercise routine. His nudity is portrayed tastefully, focusing instead on the study of human form and movement.
Overall, 'Man of Profile Upright Washing' is a thought-provoking work that invites viewers to contemplate concepts such as science, anatomy, and artistry through Picabia's unique lens. It serves as a testament to his mastery of orphic cubism and solidifies his place as one of France's most influential artists during the early 20th century.
