Frantisek Kupka "Rising Force" - 1918

“The artist is not a slave to nature, or to the science of nature. His mind is emancipated – free to express, not himself (for that would still be a kind of slavery) but a new vision, a new order of reality, an ideal beauty.” – The Philosophy of Modern Art, Human Art and Inhuman Nature by Herbert Read, 1964.

Kupka’s  “Rising Force” was exposed for the first time in Paris 1990 - oil on canvas, 72 x 59 cm
