I just came across the news that Vera Molnar passed away. Thinking about expressiveness using computation, her drawings are still truly inspiring and forever among my favourites. Here is one that I love, included in my thesis. And a picture of her by Francesca Franco @iamfrafra

C’est avec une vive émotion que nous apprenons la disparition de Vera Molnár avec qui nous avions passionnément travaillé en vue de sa prochaine grande exposition au Centre Pompidou. Elle ouvrira en février 2024 et rendra hommage à son œuvre exceptionnelle.

No words can express the sadness and emptiness that the passing of #veramolnar leaves behind. Having known her and being part, even if briefly, of her life has been a true blessing that I will always cherish. Here Vera holds a piece of glass from Icône 2020 next to her heart 💛

"All these variations around letters resonate in me like music. Even though I stopped playing the piano at 15, music has never left me. I think of Goldberg Variations or Beethoven's Diabelli Variations on a Waltz. That's why I gave the title Theme and Variations." - Vera Molnar
