Artists in conversation
Victor Vasarely
Hungarian-French · b. 1906
Vasarely shared Morellet's commitment to geometric abstraction and optical systems, creating works built on mathematical grids and angular repetition that produce visual vibration similar to Morellet's layered trame compositions.
Bridget Riley
British · b. 1931
Riley's Op Art practice relies on systematic repetition of geometric lines and angles to create perceptual interference effects, directly paralleling Morellet's use of overlapping grids at precise calculated degrees in this work.
Richard Paul Lohse
Swiss · b. 1902
Lohse developed rigorous Constructivist compositions governed by mathematical modules and systematic color progressions, sharing Morellet's core philosophy of removing subjective gesture in favor of rule based geometric structure.
