Chartres - bleu violet

François Morellet's Chartres bleu rouge, 1973 silkscreen print, grid of alternating blue, red, and green squares on black background.

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 bleu rouge by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a vibrant silkscreen print composed of an intricate grid of alternating blue, red, and green squares set against a black background. This systematic arrangement creates a pulsating visual effect as the contrasting colors interact, drawing the viewer's eye across the pattern in an almost hypnotic rhythm. Inspired by the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, Morellet’s work captures the essence of color interplay and luminosity seen in the historical architecture he admired. The piece exemplifies Morellet’s commitment to geometric abstraction and his fascination with repetition, color theory, and optical perception, creating a work that is both structured and visually dynamic.

What is concrete art?

Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
