Vera Molnár frequently used letters of the alphabet in her drawings. She stripped them of their meanings and context and worked with them as pure geometric forms. In the series Histoire d’I (History of I) she focused her attention on the letter I, experimenting with various color combinations, rotations, and levels of density within a square image plane.
The intersecting perpendicular lines of the I and its randomized placement and rotation on the page are reminiscent of the techniques Molnár employed in Interruptions (on view nearby).
