About this work

This abstract composition from 1946 by Francis Picabia shows a stylized, bird-like form built from bold black outlines, circular green eyes, and flat areas of red, white, yellow, and blue. The muted green and brown background frames the central figure, whose dotted patterns and curling contours create a rhythmic, decorative surface.
