František Kupka
Czech Republic (1871—1957)Originating from Bohemia, František Kupka trained in Prague and Vienna before moving to Paris, where he became involved in the city’s vibrant avant‑garde scene. His exploration of abstract, curvilinear forms aligned him with the group of artists that Apollinaire, in 1912, would describe as Orphism. That same year he presented Amorpha: Fugue in Two Colours at the Salon d’Automne. After the First World War he continued to develop his abstract investigations, and in 1931 he was included in Abstraction‑Création.
