About
Vera Molnar, born on January 5, 1924 in Budapest, is considered an important pioneer of computer art. From 1942 to 1947 she studied painting, art history and aesthetics at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. Her work has been irrelevant since 1946. After a scholarship in Rome, she moved to Paris in 1947, where she still lives and works today.
By incorporating the computer into her artistic work, she also conceptually addressed questions about originality and reproduction. This led them to a discussion about the relationship between the work and the author. Her serial works are limited to a few shapes and a reduced color palette. It analyzes the respective variation steps digitally and determines them mathematically.
Later, Molnar experimented with the inkjet printer, putting in too much ink to get thick edges of black bars on paper. The white of the paper was colored in overlapping arrangements in different color depths. In her work she played with deviation, chance and the unpredictable.
Molnar can look back on numerous exhibitions in Europe, the USA and Japan. A number of her works are in public and private collections. (Source Wikipedia)
