František Kupka (September 23, 1871 – June 24, 1957) (also known as Frank Kupka or François Kupka)was a Czech painter and graphic artist. He was a pioneer and co-founder of the early phases of the abstract art movement and Orphic cubism (Orphism). Kupka's abstract works arose from a base of realism, but later evolved into pure abstract art.
No other name of Czech origin resonates in the world in terms of modern art as strongly as that of František Kupka. One of the most important painters of the last century, globally acclaimed yet almost unknown in his own country, nowadays ranks among the artists whose works break records in the auction houses. The reason for this is simple: abstract art represents one of the key themes in the history of art of the 20th century and František Kupka is one of its founders.
