| THE HISTORY: Manfred Mohr's first one-person show was scheduled for May 30 1968 at the Daniel Templon gallery in Paris, France. Unfortunately the show could not open as planned because the riots of "MAI 68" started almost the same day. This event changed everything in France and the rest of the world took note. As one can see from the invitation cards and catalog below, Mohr's opening was rescheduled for November 5, 1968. At the same time, the gallery's name was also changed from "Cimaise Bonaparte - Daniel Templon" to "Galerie Daniel Templon". | ||||||
THE ART WORKPHASE: This catalog contains work from 1967-1968. In this workphase from from 1966-1969, Manfred Mohr created hard edge geometric artworks which he later called 'Surrealistic Geometry'. His elements were influenced by electronic and other technical signs and arranged so that the pictorial construction created a visual tension field. In addition to paintings, drawings, and lithographs, he created wooden reliefs, an interactive kinetic sound machine, multi-part works, works in series, and a visual poetry book. In this period, he had his first and second one-person shows. The events of Mai '68 in Paris influenced his first exhibition. Also, his first workphase catalog appeared. | ||||||
