František Kupka - Study for the title page of F. Hérold’s La Guirlande d’Aphrodite
Aphrodite’s Garland continues (in expression, not time) the illustrations for The Song of Songs but are remarkably less convincing which Kupka realised and thus signed them with a pseudonym Paul Regnard. In 1917, when he made the illustrations, Kupka focused on a different direction and accepted the commission mainly for existential reasons.
