Machine Turn Quickly 1917

"Machine Turn Quickly" (1917) by Francis Picabia is a striking example of Dada art. The artwork depicts a machine-like form with gears and geometric shapes against a black background, representing a critique of the mechanization of modern society. The abstract design and use of bold colors and lines convey the energy and chaos of the industrial age. This work reflects Picabia's fascination with the emerging technologies of the early 20th century and his challenge to traditional artistic conventions.
