The Centre Pompidou-Metz is showcasing the retrospective exhibition 'François Morellet. 100 pour cent,' featuring the 1956 painting 'Du jaune au violet.' The work demonstrates Morellet’s systematic approach to geometric abstraction and color theory, utilizing a mechanical execution method to eliminate subjective expression. The exhibition precedes the 2026 centenary of the artist's birth and highlights his role in the development of minimalism and concrete art.
