Francis Picabia, who owned a castle, designed each room in a different theme. His most bizarre choice was without a doubt the theme he chose for the children's room: he decorated it with intruments of torture and grotesque masks. He said he wanted to teach his children how to become fearless at young age.
In recent years, a Picabia painting has sold for as much as $ 1,600,000.
