More than 60 years have passed and \u201cmolinarism\u201d now refers to a movement which has left its mark on painting in Canada. Molinari was not only the theorist of the movement; he was also its most generous and energizing practitioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, following his legendary canvases of 1951, that he painted inthe dark and which were a lesson in&#8230; automatism for the disciples of Borduas, Molinari never stopped restructuring abstract spaces in a manner that was generally found disconcerting and regarded as \u201cart for the sake of research\u201d. As he set for himself time frames that could vary as necessary from a few weeks to several years, Molinari never ceased considering colour \u2014 and black and white! \u2014 as forms of pure energy destined to be intergrated in paintings that would never breathe to the exact same tempo. He found solace from the public\u2019s relative lack of interest by reminding himself that \u201ceven Mondrian\u2019s works were once considered experimental and unworthy of being exhibited with those of other artists&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Gilles Daigneault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hdmedia360.ca\/visite-virtuelle\/hd\/cbphgpAdl-mac-molinari-baie-saint-paul.html\">Virtual tour of the exhibition here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the exhibition flyer below (French only) :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/fondationguidomolinari.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/FGM_ExpoMolinariAuMACBSP_Opuscule_01_FR.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of FGM_ExpoMolinariAuMACBSP_Opuscule_01_FR.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-3affebee-979b-4603-b5e1-e0f534557803\" href=\"https:\/\/fondationguidomolinari.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/FGM_ExpoMolinariAuMACBSP_Opuscule_01_FR.pdf\">FGM_ExpoMolinariAuMACBSP_Opuscule_01_FR<\/a><\/div>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"3701\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Foundation presented a significant retrospective of Guido Molinari, at the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain in Baie-Saint-Paul (Quebec).
