"Kupka's Abstractions, drawn around 1930, are among the most radical simplifications ever found in constructive art of this century, while the 1926 Four Stories of White and Black tell the tales of abstract language used to reveal the abstract forces in nature. Arnauld Pierre's Of White and Black is a fine art historical study of these two visual books. Dr. Pierre discusses Kupka's process and inspiration in the creation of these early twentieth century works of pure art in white and black."--BOOK JACKET.
