Frantisek Kupka (1871-1957) was a Czech painter and illustrator who lived most of his life in Paris.
Frank Kupka was born September 23, 1871, in eastern Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, the son of a small town notary.
Kupka's work gained critical attention beginning in the 1970s as the history of 20th-century painting was examined more broadly to include the work of such secondary figures as Kupka, who were slightly out of the mainstream, but nonetheless important artists in this period.

Kupka was a Czechoslovakian painter, born in 1871 in the small town of Opocno in Eastern Bohemia.
Kupka was an accomplished landscape and portrait artist who always displayed a propensity toward the scientific and the metaphysical.
From 1909 to 1913, Kupka experienced his creative emancipation, striving to depict what he called the "other reality." He wrote an aesthetic treatise that dealt primarily with the role of the 20th century artist in the elaboration of non-figurative forms.

Frantisek Kupka will be remembered in the history of twentieth century art as one of the pioners of abstraction.
Of an independent character, Kupka experimented with abstract painting in a very individual manner although coinciding with Kandinsky's ideas in that for him painting, as with music, had the capacity to express itself exclusively through formal values without the need to imitate or copy any external reality.
Kupka actively participated in their discussions on simultaneity in art, the representation of movement and the Bergsonian ideology of time, which was so much in vogue at that period.

 Frantisek Kupka (1871-1957), por Image & Art
En esta etapa de formación, Kupka se mantiene dentro de los márgenes del más estricto academicismo y pinta sobre todo cuadros de tema histórico.
Kupka se sumerge muy pronto en la pujante vida cultural de la capital austriaca -que en este momento acoge la actividad de personajes como Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Gustav Klimt, Amold Schonberg o Sigmund Freud- y profundiza en sus inclinaciones ocultistas, llegando a ingresar en una cofradía teosófica.
En torno a 1906, Kupka comienza a profundizar en el estudio del color a partir de las teorías de Newton y Goethe, en las que le iniciara Stunicka, así como las de Chevreul, que tanto interesaron a los posimpresionistas.

Frantisek Kupka (1871 - 1957) was raised in Czechoslovakia and in 1889 enrolled at the Prague Academy's Department of Historical and Religious Painting.
Kupka's influence can be easily traced through the world of graphic design of the 1950's, the psychadelic film and poster art of the 1960's, the visual styles of the New Age movement, and even the contemporary poster art of Derek Hess, which resembles Kupka's magazine cover illustrations in 1900; specifically the following ones:

 Frantisek Kupka and Otto Gutfreund
She herself wrote an essay on the artwork of František Kupka, which can be read in the catalogue published in connection with the exhibition.
In her study, Meda Mládková proves that Kupka, as opposed to his contemporaries in Paris, reached abstract painting not through Cubism, but rather, going on his own, individual path, he obtained similar results.
Their attention was directed to this prominent figure of Czech Cubism not only in connection with the works of Kupka, but the artwork of Gutfreund was also an important reference for the members of the Czech post-war sculptors’ generation – his experiments and his undertaking of both moral and artistic responsibility.

 TIME.com: Catching the Astral Plane -- Oct. 13, 1975 -- Page 1
To French eyes, Frantisek Kupka was, for the last 20 years of his life, an ir relevance: a withered Czech emigre, with sunken cheeks and a disproportionately large appetite for food, who lived in a small cluttered house in the Paris suburb of Puteaux, surrounded by old abstract paintings that nobody wanted.
Later, when Kupka's eminence as a pioneer of abstract art was recognized—his first completely abstract pictures were done around 1910-11—the French tried to claim him as a true Parisian in whom the Central European heritage was aesthetically unimportant.
Since his youth, Kupka had been intensely interested in spiritualism; he was a frequent hiker on the astral plane.

 Un chant d'amour biblique illustré par Frantisek Kupka - 01-11-2005 - Radio Prague
Un chant d'amour biblique illustré par Frantisek Kupka
La place du "Cantique des cantiques" dans l'oeuvre de Frantisek Kupka est très particulière dans la mesure où, entre le moment où Kupka a commencé à travailler sur cette oeuvre, en 1904, et l'édition définitive de l'ouvrage qu'il projetait, l'oeuvre ne paraît qu'en 1931, il y plus de vingt cinq ans qui se sont écoulés.
Véritablement il n'y a presque aucun indice du passage relativement proche de Kupka, devrait-on dire, vers l'art abstrait.
