In the 1950s, American painter Philip Pearlstein completed his M.A.
thesis, ‘The Paintings of Francis Picabia 1908–1930’. When
his research coincided with Picabia’s death in 1953, Pearlstein
became the authority on the work of Picabia and his influence in
European modernism that set the stage for modern art in America. Of
course, it is impossible to discuss Picabia without also
considering the work of Marcel Duchamp. At different intervals in
his career, Pearlstein wrote three subsequent essays on Picabia for
major arts journals: ‘The Symbolic Language of Francis Picabia’
for Arts magazine, 1956; ‘Hello & Goodbye, Francis Picabia’
for Art News, 1970, and ‘When the Dada Daddies Got Real; Or, How
I Turned Picabia Inside Out’ for Brooklyn Rail, 2017.
Pearlstein’s articles present a fascinating comparison between
Picabia, Duchamp and Pearlstein himself. Picabia Inside Out brings
together Pearlstein’s articles in full, published in an
illustrated paperback book with a facsimile of the 1955 M.A. thesis
presented as an historical document showing all the nuances of his
typewriter. A foreword by Robert Storr highlights the broader art
historical context and Pearlstein’s importance as a precursor to
what became known as postmodernism.
