Over a career that spanned more than 50 years, Francis Picabia became known for inventing and then abandoning one style after another, transitioning repeatedly from figuration to abstraction. His late paintings, made from the end of the Second World War until his death in 1953, were abstract and characterized by simplified elements, pared-down compositions in dark, brooding hues as seen in Untitled.
