In the 1950s, influenced by the neoplasticism of Mondrian and Van Doesburg, he moved towards a formal and chromatic reduction, reaching a simple and geometric language. After the trip to Brazil and Spain, Morellet's artistic style definitively approached abstraction and geometrism. Between 1960 and 1970 the artist began to create the so-called ''frames'', parallel lines positioned in a precise order and to use neon as a new means of expression. In 1972 he participated in the Venice Biennale and in many retrospectives throughout Europe. Later he created a group of artists, called GRAV (Groppe de Ricerche d’Art Visuelle), with the aim of creating an experimental art. less
