La Création dans les arts plastiques  is a collection of Kupka texts written directly in French and written between 1910 and 1913. Contemporary of the entry of the artist into abstraction, this book is the theoretical counterpart of his painting. It is a major reflection of the artist on the nature of art, its project and its means.
This book will not appear until 1923, in Prague in Czech translation, illustrated with drawings and diagrams of the author. It will then be reprinted in French in 1989, Éditions du Cercle d'Art, Paris.
