Of Czech nationality Kupka studied in Prague and Vienna but moved to Paris in 1895. By the 1910 he was in close contact with Section d'Or cubism and then greatly influenced by the abstract use of colour propounded by the Delaunays as 'Orphism'. He became a central figure in Parisian abstract art, his later works as here are based on the interaction of colour and geometric form. His prints of this period are scarce.
