Étude pour “Autour d’un point”, c. 1920, signed Kupka, watercolour and gouache on paper, 26 x 26 cm, framed
This work is a study for the oil painting “Autour d’un point”, now in the Musée National d´Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
To be included in the Kupka catalogue Raisonné being prepared by Pierre Brullé.
We are grateful to Mr. Pierre Brullé for confirming the authenticity of this work.
Provenance:
Sotheby’s, London, 25 June 1997, lot 167
acquired from the above by the present owner
In numerous preparatory studies, such as the present Étude pour ‘Autour d’un point’, as well as in consecutively numbered and fully developed variations on one and the same theme, Kupka repeatedly deals with the same subject. Rather than striving for ever greater perfection, he endeavours creatively to “adjust” to the forces of growth, change and repetition that characterise the existence of all things.
