Biography

Kupka was born in Opocno, Czech. During his apprenticeship to a saddler he began painting and also studied spiritualism. He studied art at the academies in Prague and Vienna. In 1896 he moved to Paris where he made a living as an illustrator and began showing in the Salons. After working with Symbolist and Fauvist styles, he was stimulated by the advances of modern civilization and by Cubism and Futurism. Around 1910 he moved on to pure abstraction. His submission of two abstract Amorphas to the Salon d'Automne in 1912 was a historical event heralding the arrival of a new age in painting. He tried a number of different abstract styles and representational forms began to appear in his painting again during his Machinism period of the late 1920s. In the 1930s he participated in the organization of the Abstraction-Création group. His later works were mechanical abstractions.
