Catalogue Note

This painting was made specifically for a 1973 exhibition at the Roger Bellemare Gallery, Montreal.  Molinari, in his geometric abstraction works, replaces now his vertical striped with rectangles containing triangles of various coloured stripes.  Again, he reaches out to explore a novel symbiosis of colour and form.
