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 violet by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a silkscreen print characterized by a meticulously arranged grid of alternating blue, red, and purple squares. Set against a black background, this geometric composition produces a hypnotic effect as the colors interact, creating a sense of depth and movement. The repetitive and systematic design draws inspiration from the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral, capturing the interplay of light and color that Morellet admired in the cathedral's architecture. This piece reflects Morellet’s interest in color theory, mathematical precision, and optical perception, crafting an experience that is both visually stimulating and intellectually engaging.

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.
