From photo-inspired Impressionism to radical abstraction, from the provocations of Dada to postwar dot-paintings, Francis Picabia’s career is characterized by tireless reinvention—of art, the role of the artist, and the relationship between different mediums. In this session we’ll explore the eclectic journey of this trickster and artistic chameleon.

This session is led by Petra Pankow.

Join us for lively conversations and engaging activities, facilitated by Museum educators, that offer insightful and unusual ways to engage with MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions.

Gallery Sessions are free for members and Museum admission ticket holders. No registration is required. Groups meet in the Marron Atrium, Floor 2.

FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.

This event accompanies Francis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction.
This event is part of Gallery Sessions.
