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 concrete art?
Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
