About Thursday Jeudi

The artwork titled “Thursday Jeudi” is an abstract oil on canvas created by artist Francis Picabia in 1951. It is a work that associates with the Abstract Art movement and is relatively small in physical dimensions, measuring at 46 cm in height by 38 cm in width. The genre of the artwork is abstract, and it currently resides within a private collection.

The artwork presents a composition with bold, predominantly blue hues accented by elements of white and yellow. The canvas is filled with a variety of shapes and forms that interlock and overlay, creating depth and visual interest within the two-dimensional plane. The forms do not immediately evoke recognizable objects or figures, adhering to the abstract genre, which relies on color, form, and texture to communicate rather than literal subject matter. Darker blue tones serve as the background, while lighter blue, white, and the standout yellow form create a striking contrast that draws the viewer’s eye across the artwork. The brushwork appears textured and dynamic, adding to the overall sense of movement and emotion conveyed by the piece.
