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 kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
