In 1924 Francis Picabia declared that Kupka, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray were the three artists he held in the highest regard. The dynamic effect is further reinforced by a new color scheme - the artist has abandoned his earlier vibrant, modulated colors for a palette dominated by primary blue and red tones set against a black and white background. La Forme du bleu A I demonstrates Kupka’s shift away from the organic, undulating shapes of his earlier work towards the sharper, more angular forms of his mechanistic paintings.
Dominated by a range of rich blues and cooler whites, Kupka’s composition possesses a sense of vertiginous force and magnetism, which behaves within the rational laws of perspective, but with a greater, almost astral scope.
Kupka based these works on vertical bands of color, radiating from a single point settled in the lower portion of the composition. This work is one of six canvases entitled La Forme du bleu, painted between 19. He considered himself a “color symphonist," and set out to express his inner states through the harmonies and rhythms produced solely through color and line. Together with Malevich and Kandinsky, Kupka was one of the fathers of abstract art, and a major proponent of modernism in his native Czechoslovakia. 109, illustrated in color in the catalogueĭallas, Dallas Museum of Art (on extended loan from July 2011 through February 2012) 24ĭallas, Dallas Museum of Art (on extended loan from December 1998 through March 2000)ĭallas, The Meadows Museum, Southern Methodist University, Meadows School of the Arts, Texas Vision: The Barrett Collection, The Art of Switzerland and Texas, 2004-05, no.
