For today's #MuseumTourTuesday, I'd like to share one of my favorite paintings that Kimberly and I encountered on our visit to The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston last week.
Czech
artist František Kupka's self-portrait is known for its exploration of
yellow, but I am struck more by the expressive and fluid brushwork. The
paint becomes a character, just as important as the artist's own
depiction. Kupka's earlier works featured a much more academic approach,
but his paintings continued to evolve, and he went on to become one of
the founders of the abstract art movement in the early 20th century.
