// Walter Leblanc's Untitled (1949) is an acrylic on paper work that embodies the artist's early exploration of minimalism and optical art. The composition is characterized by its subtle texture and monochromatic palette, creating a sense of calm and introspection. Two curved, dotted lines gracefully intersect at the center, flanked by linear, horizontal elements that add depth and structure. The minimal use of color and form draws attention to the tactile quality of the surface, encouraging a meditative interaction with the piece. Leblanc's precise, restrained approach foreshadows his later experiments with kinetic art, emphasizing movement and perception within a static medium.

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.
