Who was François Morellet and why is he significant?
François Morellet (1926–2016) was a French contemporary artist and a pioneer of Geometric Abstraction. He is celebrated for using mathematical systems and grids to create hypnotic optical and kinetic art.
What does 'Self-distorting' mean in the context of this 1965 work?
Morellet used overlapping grids shifted at specific angles to create 'self-distortion.' This creates moiré patterns—visual interference that makes static lines appear to vibrate or bend as the viewer moves.
