Kupka. Positioning of Mobile Graphics Elements 1912-1913

The general idea of this type of exhibition was really exemplified by this show, which reassembled one of the intense and extensive series produced by Czech artist Frantisek Kupka, a painter whose chief method of working was to deal repeatedly with the same subject through a whole series of studies. The exhibition presented the two main oil paintings of the series, Positioning of Mobile Graphic Elements I, which belongs to the permanent collection of the Museum, and Positioning of Mobile Graphic Elements II, from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, together with a group of numerous sketches on paper from several museums and collections. This exhibition, sponsored by MoviStar with the collaboration of the Grupo Ruiz Nicoli, enabled the public to come close to the work of an artist who may be little-known and undervalued in our own time, but who was a pioneer in the field of abstraction.
