The Library

Der Algorithmus des Manfred Mohr
Texte 1963–1979

Only available in German - Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the ZKM, 2013

I’m sharing it anyways as Mohr is an interesting character and an important concrete art painter who started to work with computers in 1969.

Although provided with numerous illustrations, his generative paintings itself are not the focus of the book. His writings on the works and his correspondence with critics take centre stage. Both they and numerous artist friends were not very enthusiastic about the change of medium.

Thanks Marc, his pre-computer hard edge works are also interesting. Big fan of his ouevre as an artist as well. 

And thanks for the tip 🙏

One of my favorites, and his concept of a square is really something. Thanks for posting Tim!
