Preliminary Reading for the Picabia’s
Reading assignments:
- (If you need a refresher) Skim our biographies that we posted (latest drafts) for background on our person
- Gabrielle Buffet Picabia’s “Some memories of Pre-Dada: Picabia and Duchamp” (scanned PDF)
- JSTOR article on Picabia www.jstor.org%2Fstable%2Fpdf%2F3100654.pdf%3Frefreqid%3Dexcelsior%3Af67682f0f7dae9d119de4fd83e793f50
- Make two hypothesis comments on some preliminary thoughts or ideas you have about the relationship between Gabrielle and Francis- How did they impact one another?
- Create a headline (imagine what a headline might be about this couple – just be creative, whatever comes to your mind based off the readings) and post it on the bottom of the document
Are his artworks included in the J-Stor essay? If not, can we study some of them? Francis Naumann’s New York Dada has great reproductions and a chapter on him, too, if I recall correctly).
