Guided tour of the exhibition Kupka and Caricature – Mirrors of Truth 22 July 2025 from 6 PM

22/7 2025, 18:00

This exhibition is part of a series of exhibitions dedicated by Museum Kampa to the themes, aspects, and contexts of the work of František Kupka. The last in the series was the 2017 exhibition Neighbours in Art: Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp- Villon, Jacques Villon and František Kupka, and in 2018, on the centenary of the founding of the Republic, the exhibition František Kupka: Legionnaire and Patriot. This year’s exhibition will present the artist’s work during the “golden age” of satirical magazines. Although Kupka is primarily known as one of the first to step towards non-figurative art, his satirical work, at first glance diametrically opposed to his later concepts, is in many aspects a substantial part of the artist’s oeuvre. ýstava představuje Kupkovu kritickou kresbu v širším kontextu tehdejší pařížské a mezinárodní scény a poukazuje na různorodost i aktuálnost témat, která satirická kresba zpracovávala před více než sto lety.

The exhibition presents Kupka’s critical drawings within the broader context of the Parisian and international art scene of the time, highlighting the diversity and continued relevance of the themes addressed by satirical illustration more than a century ago.

The guided tour will be held in Czech.
