Francois Morellet created this artwork using the simple materials of painted board and pencil. The squares have crisp edges and a smooth surface, achieved through careful preparation and application of the paint. The pencil line is precise and delicate, providing a subtle contrast to the stark white surface. Morellet's choice of materials and his rigorous process reflect a focus on industrial production rather than traditional craft. The clean lines and geometric forms speak to a minimalist aesthetic, reducing art to its most essential components. By emphasizing the process and materials, Morellet invites us to consider the labor and precision involved in creating even the simplest of forms. This work challenges traditional notions of artistic skill by highlighting the importance of planning, precision, and execution. It elevates the act of making to the forefront of our understanding. By focusing on the underlying structure and the inherent qualities of the materials, Morellet blurs the boundaries between fine art and design.
