The artwork titled “Optophone II” was created by Francis Picabia. It is an abstract painting on canvas, measuring 116 x 88 cm, and is associated with the Dada and Surrealism art movements.
The artwork features a series of concentric circles branching out from the center, drawing the viewer’s attention toward the middle of the canvas. Within the circles, a variety of textured elements intermingle, including figures, flowers, and geometric forms, all rendered in a blend of bold and pastel hues. The composition appears dynamic and multifaceted, characteristic of the abstract genre, and evokes the avant-garde spirit quintessential to the Dada and Surrealism movements. The intricate layering and the striking interaction of shapes and lines in the artwork result in a visual experience that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
