Francis Picabia French, 1879–1953

Edtaonisl (Ecclesiastic)

1913

Francis Picabia's 'Edtaonisl (Ecclesiastic)' (1913) is one of the French-Cuban Dadaist's 'mechanomorphic' canvases, painted after his trip to New York for the Armory Show. The title is invented; the picture is a prismatic abstraction that fuses dance, religion, and machine imagery. Oil on canvas, Art Institute of Chicago.
