Monstre is a painting made in France in 1946 by Francis Picabia. Picabia was a painter, writer, filmmaker, poet and magazine publisher, and he is closely associated with Dada. The title promises something unsettling or unexpected, and it gives a good starting point for looking: let your eye move across the surface and decide for yourself what, if anything, takes shape. It sits well among modern and abstract works, and it carries the questioning spirit of an artist who worked across many forms.
On your wall: Suited to a study, living room or hallway where a modern, abstract piece with a touch of mystery can prompt conversation.

Francis Picabia was a French avant-garde artist whose work crossed many fields. He painted, wrote poetry, made films, published a magazine and worked with typography. He is closely associated with Dada, the movement that shaped much of his outlook, and his restless, varied output reflects the experimental spirit of that circle.
