František Kupka | Fine Art

The Yellow Scale

Although it is provocative to view The Yellow Scale as a self-portrait, the true subject of this riveting work is the color yellow. Kupka was an eccentric, sensual man with a lifelong fascination for spiritualism and the occult. Though he never completely abandoned naturalistic representation, he was one of the pioneers in developing Abstract painting early in the 20th century. Kupka explored philosophically and scientifically the nature of color—its unity and total effect on a work of art.
