text from the Centre Pompidou, Paris, FR, exhibition Vera Molnar – Speak to the Eye:
In 1970, Vera Molnár was inspired by a Paul Klee painting of a chessboard comprising squares filled with parallel and oblique lines (Variation (progressive motif), 1927), resulting in this major series Seeking Paul Klee. Repeating the template’s square format and orthogonal organization, she filled all 81 squares with parallel and criss-crossing lines, either randomly or using software that she dubbed her « imaginary machine ». These drawings combined optical appeal with compositional rigor, devoid of monotony.
