I have attended this beutiful exhibition in the Waldstein Riding School located in Prague. It was a retrospective of the work of František Kupka 1871–1957.
The exhibition shows Kupka’s entire oeuvre, from his early works of the 1890s to his abstract artworks of the 1950s. The exhibition was a unique collection of oil paintings, works on paper, prints and documentary material which were borrowed from galleries and private owners.
The chronological exhibition is divided by theme to allow the viewer to follow the artist’s path from symbolism to abstraction (of which Kupka was an originator). The retrospective focuses on Kupka’s symbolist paintings, first expressionist portraits, path to abstract art, colour verticals, vocabulary of forms and colours, machinism and geometric abstraction. The many artworks on paper show Kupka as a satirical draughtsman and brilliant illustrator, an artist interested in philosophy, Greek and Roman art, religion and science.
