Silkcreen on Fabriano Rosaspina paper. Signed and dated with pencil on the lower right, numbered on the left. Issued by Plura Edizioni. // This silkscreen by François Morellet presents one of the artist's signature Trame compositions, featuring two superimposed systems of fine parallel lines — one horizontal, one diagonal — intersecting in delicate red across the center of a pristine white field. The resulting pattern creates a subtle optical vibration that exemplifies Morellet's lifelong investigation into the relationship between mathematical systems and visual perception. Conceived in 1957 and executed as a silkscreen on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, the work demonstrates the artist's pioneering role in European geometric abstraction and kinetic art, predating many of the Op Art experiments that would follow.

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.
