Viktor Vasarely (1906 - 1997) COMPOSITION

Victor Vasarely's works helped define the Op Art movement. The artist's vibrant compositions blend tightly geometric and fluid dynamic forms that combine with a monochromatic or, conversely, varied colour palette to create optical illusions. Vasarely studied medicine at the University of Budapest, then interrupted his studies to devote himself to fine art. His insight into scientific methodology was reflected in his work, as in the work of Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky. Vasarely exhibited widely during his lifetime in New York, Paris, Cologne, Caracas and Budapest, and his work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou and the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, among others. The offered optical object is composed of two plates printed with screen printing technique and printed with the artist's signature.
