The artwork titled “Organization of Graphic Motifs II,” created by Frantisek Kupka around 1912 to 1913, is an abstract piece belonging to the Orphism art movement. Composed in oil on canvas, the artwork measures 200 by 194 centimeters and is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, USA.
The artwork presents a vibrant composition marked by an interplay of colors and shapes that appear to be in dynamic motion. Predominantly featuring hues of pink, green, and white, the piece exhibits an intricate pattern of overlapping motifs that create a sense of depth and fluidity. The swirling forms and textured brushstrokes contribute to an impression of energy and movement, characteristic of Orphism’s emphasis on pure abstraction and the expression of light and color. The absence of recognizable figures and the focus on geometric abstraction highlight Kupka’s commitment to exploring the spiritual and emotional impact of colors and shapes.
