In the early 1960s, Walter Leblanc becomes known by paintings and objects that create virtual motion, in accordance with kinetic art and op art. His early work, such as *Cataract*, still belongs to the dominant lyrical abstraction of the 1950s. It seems miles removed from the later monochrome paintings that portray purely 'visual' content. In that context, the choice for an eye disease as the title further increases the mystery of this change of direction.
