Cardboard project for sculpture number 1450 (The work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels). Catalogue raisonné nr 1450 bis. Archetypes by Walter Leblanc, created in 1985, is a cardboard maquette for sculpture number 1450, measuring 22 x 17.5 x 7 cm. Enclosed in a transparent display case, the composition explores geometric purity and spatial tension through the interplay of triangular, circular, and rectangular forms. This small-scale study reflects Leblanc’s transition from his earlier kinetic and textile works to a more structural, minimalist vocabulary in his later career. The title Archetypes suggests a focus on essential forms and universal shapes, aligning with the artist's philosophical interest in form, balance, and perception. Listed in the catalogue raisonné as 1450 bis.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
