“Tuesday Mardi” is an abstract artwork created by Francis Picabia in 1951. The piece, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Abstract Art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 46 x 38 cm, and it is currently held in a private collection. The genre of this piece is abstract.
The artwork presents a bold composition dominated by fluid, sweeping white curvilinear forms against a rich, textured brown background. The central figure appears organic and dynamic, evocative of both floral and fantastical elements, which capture the viewer’s imagination. Accentuating this abstract form are vibrant touches of yellow and a striking hint of red that draws focus to the center, possibly suggesting a face or a mask-like feature. Picabia’s intuitive brushwork and adept use of color contribute to the overall enigmatic and thought-provoking quality of the artwork, reflecting the artist’s innovative contributions to the Abstract Art movement.
