Francois Morellet Biography

(b cholet, maine-et-loire, 30 april 1926). french painter, sculptor and stage designer. a self-taught artist, he began his career in 1952, painting endless repetitions of tirets (fr.: ‘hyphens’), which formed optically vibrating patterns. in the late 1950s he began series of trames , grids of small squares, then of lines drawn on paper and finally of aluminium rods. in works such as 8 grids (1958; paris, pompidou) the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines at times form circles, creating the sparkling effect of a galaxy. in more sculptural works such as sphere-grid (1962; priv. col., see 1986 exh. cat., p. 83) straight metal rods form a sphere that revolves when hung.
