Vera Molnar / Croix ou triangles

The collection of original multiples devised by Connaissance des Arts and Galerie 8 + 4 continues with a second edition designed by Vera Molnar.

Considered a pioneer in the relationship between art and computers, in the 1950s Vera Molnar began a whole series of works that emerged from programmes she invented and called "the imaginary machine". Since then, she has played on the reciprocal capacities of man and the computer machine, constantly questioning the foundations of art by contrasting the rigour of programmes and the power of digital calculations with the laws of chance and the principles of repetition, alteration and variation, what she calls the "1% disorder". To mark her 100th birthday next January, the artist has imagined all the possibilities of depicting a cross using simple motifs. This edition brings together two of these variations. Croix ou Triangles takes the form of two drawings facing each other on a single sheet of paper. There are 30 signed and numbered copies of this 40 x 80 cm work, printed in pigment on 308g Hahnemühle paper.
