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 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.
