생애 전체 보기1915
The start of his “machinist” period
From 1915 Picabia made and exhibited drawings and prints of mysterious machines and apparatuses — “mechanical portraits” inspired by Duchamp's “machine style”; the magazine 291 devoted an entire issue to him, and he met Man Ray.

En route to Cuba, he stays on in New York
In wartime Picabia set out for Cuba to buy molasses for a friend who ran a sugar refinery, but after landing in New York in June 1915 he stayed on to work and did not return to France until the war was over. In these years drugs and alcohol undermined his health: he suffered from dropsy and tachycardia.
1915–1917
Leading New York Dada with Duchamp
Throughout his three years in New York Picabia mixed closely with avant-garde artists and, together with Marcel Duchamp, headed the New York section of the Dada movement.
1916
Founds the Dada magazine 391
In Barcelona, among a small circle of artists who had fled the war (Gleizes, Marie Laurencin, Robert and Sonia Delaunay), Picabia started his magazine 391, modelled on Stieglitz's periodical, and continued it in the United States with Duchamp's help. Other accounts say it was founded in New York and later published in Zürich and Paris until 1924.
c. 1919
Treatment in Zürich and meeting Tzara
While seeking treatment in Zürich for depression and suicidal impulses, Picabia met Tristan Tzara, whose radical ideas thrilled him. Back in Paris with his mistress Germaine Everling, he found himself among the Dadaists — Breton, Éluard, Soupault and Aragon, who met at Certa, a Basque bar.
