Although French artist Francis Picabia’s work from the late 1940s such as [1], [2], [3], Woman with Bulldog [4]; which borrowed generously from soft-core pornography, is a much more likely candidate for the Icons of erotic art series, today I wish to celebrate Picabia's entirely unerotic 1915 work: Portrait of an American Girl in the Nude[5], a drawing which depicts a bolt which is supposed to represent Agnes Meyer. It is a satirical homage to the machine age and the American pin up girl.
