Warm Chromatics 1912

"Warm Chromatics" (1912) by Frantisek Kupka is a seminal work in the development of abstract art. The painting consists of a network of overlapping geometric shapes, predominantly circles and ovals, rendered in a limited palette of browns, yellows, and reds. The abstract forms suggest a sense of depth and movement, highlighting Kupka's interest in exploring the visual possibilities of color and form. This work, a significant departure from his earlier figurative paintings, is considered a key example of Kupka's early abstract style, a pivotal contribution to the evolution of modern art.
