The Blood of France: Joan of Arc and Francis Picabia’s La Sainte-Vierge Simon Marginson Francis Picabia’s blasphemously titled drawing La Sainte-Vierge first appeared in the twelfth issue of his journal 391 (fig. 1). Originally published in May 1920, Picabia’s iconoclastic gesture is now canonical. An icon in its own right, La Sainte-Vierge continues to serve as the ubiquitous visual shorthand for Dada’s nihilistic, anti-art tendencies within general accounts of modernism, despite the existence of a large body of specialist literature that expands the significance of the drawing well beyond these persistent clichés. Indeed, La Sainte-Vierge has been subject to such wide- ranging interpretations that George Baker has complained that it is in danger of becoming the Rorschach blot of art history (38).
