Molinari was born in Montreal, Quebec to Italian heritage. He studied at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal (1948-1950) and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (1951), studying with Marian Scott and Gordon Webber. He practiced abstraction in New York, inspired by Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock, then returned to Montreal where he founded the Galerie L’Actuelle and helped create the Non-Figurative Artists Association.
Throughout the 1960s, Molinari made works consisting of vertical bands of equal width placed on a flat picture plane. He was a leader in the development of a rigorous color abstraction. The National Gallery of Canada and the Vancouver Art Gallery each acquired a canvas from the Stripe series, as it is called, and one of the series was included in the important group exhibition The Responsive Eye held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, along with works by artists such as Frank Stella. Works of the Stripe series by Molinari along with works by Ulysse Comtois represented Canada at the 1968 Venice Biennale. He won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1967, was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1971, received the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award (1973) and won the Prix Paul-Émile-Borduas in 1980. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. less
