Vera Molnar, de la main à l'ordinateur - Allers-retours
Exhibition from 13 June to 31 July 2020
Vera Molnar invites us to an exceptional confrontation between sets of old drawings or collages and others made in recent months. For this historical pioneer of a work questioning the relationship between the artist and the computer, the exhibition is an opportunity to create a total environment where more than fifty works on paper will dialogue together from the profiles of Mount Sainte Victoire, the game with grids of squares, computer creations, handwritings or her latest collages, more rarely presented but constituting an important side of her art. Through serial work or assembling according to a playful good will, Vera Molnar builds a syntax of doing that reaffirms the primacy of her subjective choices over the objectivity of the programs. At the age of 96, this "young artist" demonstrates once again how art remains more than ever open to all experimentation and to all the games of the mind and the hand.
