EX COLL.: private collection, St. Louis; to Howard Baer, 1972; [Gimpel-Weitzenhoffer Galleries,

The Czech-born artist, Frantisek Kupka, studied art at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts from 1886
to 1889. In 1891, he moved to Vienna, and in 1895 he established himself as an artist in Paris.
Kupka, whose aesthetics were shaped by early on by German philosophy and symbolist painting,
remained on the periphery of the Parisian avant-garde. He steadfastly rejected any association with any artistic school or trend, although his bold use of color, particularly in delineating form and
volume, allied him with Matisse and the Fauvists.
Kupka was deeply interested in mysticism, and he spent his life in search of a transcendental “fourth dimension.” In search of forms from this alternate reality, Kupka became one of the first non-objective painters. The brilliant blue-lavender color that emanates from and envelops the form of the arm in the present pastel study represents the ambient energy of the cosmos that connects the human form to the rest of nature.
