The artwork “Ordination of Verticals,” created by František Kupka in 1911, is an oil painting on canvas associated with the Orphism art movement. Measuring 58 by 72 centimeters, this piece exemplifies the abstract genre of art.
“Ordination of Verticals” features a dynamic interplay of vertical and fragmented forms in a myriad of colors, predominantly incorporating shades of blue, red, pink, and brown. The vertical lines create a sense of rhythm and movement, characteristic of the Orphism movement’s focus on color and form to suggest a dynamic harmony. The repetition and variation in the vertical elements convey a sense of musicality and abstraction, inviting the viewer to explore the coordinated yet seemingly random arrangement of colors and shapes. The arrangement of these elements appears both structured and fluid, reflecting the artist’s exploration of visual and sensory experiences.
