Transparence: Calder Picabiais the first publication to explore the important aspect of transparency in the oeuvres of the two artists. Alexander Calder (1898–1976) and Francis Picabia (1879–1953) are both regarded as great innovators of 20th-century modernism. The volume creates a dialogue between selected works from the late 1920s to the post–World War II period. It casts light on the ensuing dialogue between Calder’s radically new creations—for instance, his works made of wire, the first to use transparency as a means of expression in sculpture—and Picabia’s abstracting contour pictures, his "transparencies" and paintings that make reference to these. Arnauld Pierre and George Baker, renowned experts on the work of both artists, examine the significance and impact of these correspondences in accompanying essays, while the works themselves are gorgeously reproduced in full bleeds.

In the year of his 150th birthday, the Danish artist J.F. Willumsen (1863-1958) is on his way to becoming an artist's artist. Recognized for his merits as a modernist in the 1890s, his late works have long been regarded as commonplace, self-ironic, and kitschy in his home country, whereas his œuvre has remained largely unknown to an international public. In this way, the reception of Willumsen's late work resembles that of the figurative works from the thirties and forties by French artist Francis Picabia (1879-1951) before they were elevated to warrant sophisticated postmodernist reflection on painting in the late eighties. This book brings these two artists together with the American artist and film director Julian Schnabel and discusses the transhistorical similarities in their painterly strategies and explicit self-staging of their role as artists.

"For the first time, the friendships that existed between this triumvirate are examined in depth, revealing the way their mutual admiration inspired and sustained their creative output at different stages during their careers. All three were fascinated with new technologies that evolved during their lifetimes, including photography, film, mechanisation and mass production. All three lampooned the pretensions of high art, employing humour, eroticism and word play to great effect."--Back cover.
