I have chosen a Painting by Francis Picabia called Me See Again in Memory My Dear Udine. The painting was done by 1914 and was begun 1913, the painting is an Oil on canvas; it is 8' 2 1/2" x 6' 6 1/4" (250.2 x 198.8 cm). ). The painting is actually a machine in the dawning technological age. That describes a girl that was born without her mother. Francis came about this painting because he was inspired by his experiences in New York. Francis was relating this painting to Napierskowska, a professional dancer whom PicabiaPicabia started showing gouaches and watercolors that were inspired by Napierskowska, before he reached New York. So throughout the year he found a way to express his imagery in paintings. Udine means a young American girl, which was incorporated in his title, referring to Napierskowska.
The reason why I have chosen this painting was because the colors caught my attention, also the design, which is marvelous. There is a mixture of different beautiful colors in this painting; likewise he has purple, yellow, orange, grey, blue and etc. This painting looks very mellow and just makes me wonder. I really like how the painting was put together and his technique. It seems like he used a lot of different art tools to create this image. The art work tells me a lot from the title it was giving and also tells me that Francis is probably remembering one of his relatives or someone very close to him through this art work. When I looked at this painting the first thing that came to my mind was an old fashion jazz club. The reason why this came to my mind is because from my view I see people playing an instruments and someone dancing in the background. This is why I came about this old jazz scene in my head. The way I view the painting was almost close to what Francis Picabia painted.
