This in-depth exploration of celebrated French artist Francois
Morellet (1926-2016) showcases his diverse oeuvre, famous for
infusing systematic and rigorous experimentation with humor and
playfulness. Morellet's interest in kinetic and optical effects
spurred work that engages viewers' perception and participation,
ensuring an element of chance within his predetermined systems and
challenging the convention of the artistic genius. This book
features new scholarship by an international group of renowned art
historians and curators. Essays explore topics such as the
conceptual stakes of Morellet's practice, the influence of
Brazilian geometric abstraction and the Islamic decorative
tradition, and the role of humor in his work. Also included is an
extensive selection of previously untranslated writings by the
artist himself. With striking new photography of the artworks-such
as Morellet's geometric paintings, neon works, and architectural
interventions-this is the definitive book on a fascinating,
multifaceted artist.
