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 - vert orange by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a silkscreen print that utilizes a vibrant grid of alternating green and orange squares on a black background. This structured, geometric pattern, composed of meticulously arranged squares, creates a visually pulsating effect as the contrasting colors interact with each other. Inspired by the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral, which Morellet greatly admired, the work abstracts the idea of light and color seen through glass, evoking a sense of rhythm and harmony. The piece reflects Morellet’s dedication to systematic, mathematically driven art, as well as his fascination with the interplay between order and optical illusion.

What is Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
