Screen print on PVC paper - These three screen prints are from the collective portfolio « 9 x 5 konkret. 9 Künstler. 5 Farben » (Adrian, Alviani, Bill, Calderara, Loewensberg, Mavignier, Novosad, Wilding, Morellet). Chartres is in reference to the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, that Morellet was very fond of. // Chartres bleu rouge by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a vibrant silkscreen print composed of an intricate grid of alternating blue, red, and green squares set against a black background. This systematic arrangement creates a pulsating visual effect as the contrasting colors interact, drawing the viewer's eye across the pattern in an almost hypnotic rhythm. Inspired by the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, Morellet’s work captures the essence of color interplay and luminosity seen in the historical architecture he admired. The piece exemplifies Morellet’s commitment to geometric abstraction and his fascination with repetition, color theory, and optical perception, creating a work that is both structured and visually dynamic.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
