He graduated from the National Academy in 1917. From the early 1920s, Matulka promoted the tenets of European modernism to a new generation of American painters. In New York he taught at the Art Student's League and summered in the art-rich environment on Cape Cod. He also spent much time abroad working and exhibiting in Paris and Prague. Matulka championed Cubism and Purism and, along with Gorky, helped promote surrealism in the 1930s. In 1937 he helped found the American Abstract Artist's group. He died in 1972.
