François Morellet

Edition: French

François Morellet's catalog “Quelques systèmes en hommage à Herbin” (Some Systems in Homage to Herbin) accompanies the exhibition presented at the Musée Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambrésis from May 17 to September 7, 2003. It pays tribute to Auguste Herbin, a pioneer of geometric abstraction and a central figure in the museum's collections.

The book explores the formal and conceptual correspondences between the visual systems of François Morellet and those of Herbin, through the themes of geometry, color, and systematic structures. Richly illustrated and carefully edited, this catalog highlights the aesthetic connection between two great names in abstraction.

It brings together texts by François Morellet, Marie-Amélie zu Salm-Salm, Dominique Szymusiak, and Nicolas Surlapierre.
