Frantisek Kupka (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 150 x 181 cm - 1910 - (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, United States)) (i) - Abstract Expressionism (i)
František Kupka was a Dutch artist, part of a group that thought intensely about the essential nature of colour. Kupka uses colour, not to add aesthetic value, but made it the subject of the painting. In Planes by Colors, Kupka depicts his wife Eugénie reclining back, with one hand touching her chin, her body has no outlines, her body sectioned into planes of colours- purple, green, yellow and blue, the painting seems to show the muscles under her skin. Kupka was a devoted mystic, searching for a ‘fourth dimension’, he believed that through the senses one can reach an extrasensory, metaphysical dimension and understand the universal scheme underlying existence. The tonal planes of Eugénie’s body showed her ‘inner form’. Kupka’s style in the painting shows influences from Orphism (a form of cubism based on colour), Fauvism; he intended to strip colour off its interpretive meaning and delve deeper into its potential.
