She then evokes her mother&#8217;s handwriting, which she turns into computer drawings. Some of the plotter drawings are then covered by hand-drawn lines.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>More works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/current_works\/\">Latest Works (2000-2023)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/int-cont\/\">Int\/Cont (1996)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/gotique\/\">Gothique (1988-1991)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/works_vera_molnar\/hommage-a-durer\/\">Hommage \u00e0 D\u00fcrer (1990)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/sainte-victoire\/\">Sainte Victoire (1989-1996)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/works-from-the-1980s\/\">Works from the 1980s<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/albers\/\">Albers (1988)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/interstices-2\/\">Interstices (1986-87)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/hommage-a-monet\/\">Hommage \u00e0 Monet (1981-1983)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/saccades\/\">Saccades (1977-1979)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/hypertransformations\/\">Hypertransformations (1975-1976)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/10-trapezes\/\">10 Trap\u00e8zes (1975)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/vera_molnar\/works_vera_molnar\/des-ordres\/\">(Des)Ordres (1974)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/a-la-recherche-de-paul-klee\/\">\u00c1 la recherche de Paul Klee (1970-71)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/interruptions\/\">Interruptions (1968-1969)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/molnar-vera\/early-plotter-drawings\/\">Early plotter drawings (1968)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;12512,13508,13507,13506,13505,14841&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fade-up&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fade-up&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Lettres \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re (1981-1990)&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; font_size=&#8221;22&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; font_weight=&#8221;700&#8243;][vc_column_text]\u201cMy mother had a beautiful handwriting.
