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 - vert orange by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a silkscreen print that utilizes a vibrant grid of alternating green and orange squares on a black background. This structured, geometric pattern, composed of meticulously arranged squares, creates a visually pulsating effect as the contrasting colors interact with each other. Inspired by the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral, which Morellet greatly admired, the work abstracts the idea of light and color seen through glass, evoking a sense of rhythm and harmony. The piece reflects Morellet’s dedication to systematic, mathematically driven art, as well as his fascination with the interplay between order and optical illusion.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
