Woman and horse 1906

"Woman and Horse" is an oil painting by Czech artist František Kupka, created in 1906. The painting depicts a woman standing near a horse, both rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style. The subject matter suggests a connection between the two figures, perhaps a sense of companionship or even a shared journey. Kupka's distinctive use of color, particularly the rich reds and oranges, adds to the painting's atmospheric quality. The overall composition and loose brushstrokes foreshadow Kupka's later embrace of abstract art. The painting is a prime example of Kupka's early explorations in color and form, as he moved away from traditional representational art.
