Fran?ois Morellet is a French contemporary artist, painter, engraver and sculptor, born on 30th April 1926 in Cholet (Maine-et-Loire). Initially, the creator embarked on a short figurative period. Then, he became one of the major representatives of geometric abstraction, an art which was broken free from romanticism and under the influence of works by Pierre Dmitrienko. The artist adapted a pared-down geometric language, marked by Mondrian s example, made up of simple shapes, with limited color, assembled in two dimension elementary compositions. Morellet s world is very mathematical and reminds us of Dan Flavin s minimal work.
