Vertical and Diagonal Planes

František Kupka · 1913-14

This is Vertical and Diagonal Planes, painted by František Kupka between nineteen thirteen and nineteen fourteen. Kupka thought colour and form capable of the same abstraction as music — organised, non-representational, and expressive without depicting anything at all.
