František Kupka: 80 Curated PaintingsFrantišek Kupka was a Czech-born painter whose work helped shape the birth of abstract art in early twentieth-century Europe. Born in Bohemia in 1871, he trained in Prague and Vienna before settling in Paris, where his art evolved from symbolism and illustration into bold experiments with rhythm, colour, geometry, and movement. Kupka approached abstraction through an unusual combination of science, philosophy, music, optics, and spiritual inquiry. His paintings explore invisible forces rather than physical surfaces. Curves, waves, circles, and colour structures move across the canvas with extraordinary energy, creating works that feel musical, cosmic, and intensely alive.Around 1910, he began producing some of the earliest fully abstract paintings in European modern art. One of his landmark works, Amorpha, Fugue in Two Colours, helped establish abstraction as a serious visual language built from rhythm, vibration, and colour harmony rather than direct representation. Though often associated with Orphism and early modernist abstraction, Kupka remained highly independent throughout his career. His paintings balance emotional movement with remarkable discipline and structural control. František Kupka: 80 Curated Paintings presents a wide-ranging selection of works exploring abstraction, motion, geometry, symbolism, rhythm, and colour.
