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 minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
