Frantis?k Kupka

French painter, born in Opo?no, Czech Republic (formerly East Bohemia). He trained in Prague (1889) and Vienna (1892), then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1895). An occultist, he illustrated the satirical magazine L'Assiette au Beurre. In 1911 he fell under the influence of the Cubists led by Jacques Villon, became one of the pioneers of pure abstraction - a style called Orphism by Apollinaire - and, after 1931, joined the Abstraction-Création group. His other works include ‘Amorpha, fugue for two colours’ (1911–12) and ‘Vertical Planes’ (1913), and he also wrote a book on artistic creation.
