Vera Molnar. Une ligne...

Lines hold a central place in Vera Molnar’s minimal practice. Lines bend in all directions whether on paper, canvas or wall. It can be loose, trembled or straight, short or long, thin or thick, drawn with a pen, a paintbrush dipped in gouache or paint, or even computer-generated. Sometimes it mimics handwriting, takes the form of a tight thread or emerges from juxtaposed pieces of papers in some works. Claude Monet’s Haystacks, the outline of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire dear to Cézanne and the magic square of Dürer’s Melencolia brought inspiration for new linear structures with many variations. The pervasive line is “a sort of curriculum vitae, like the entirety of my former productions: the sum of my life” (1997). Creative and vagabond, lines are everywhere in Vera Molnar’s work as well as the focus of the exhibition held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen.
