Francis Picabia (January 22, 1879 – November 30, 1953)

                                                                                              
Calf Worship
1941-1942 

Picabia was a busy fellow. He is best known as a Dadaist (The Boy Carburetor) and as a Surrealist (Calf Worship), but he also worked in Abstract Expressionism (Animation), Fauvism (Adam & Eve), Impressionism (Sunrise in the Mist) and Symbolism (Salome). Actually, I have not exhausted all of the styles he worked in, but I don't want to exhaust Google. Out of these my favorite painting is the Impressionist piece; what's yours?
