The founder of Op Art, Victor Vasarely, printed this optically engaging work as a serigraph on wove paper. This artist's work is a modern print of squares in black and white. Since the late 1940s Vasarely started to engage in the concept of geometric patterns and their influence on the senses. He explores and creates his own abstract geometric language that carries a certain kinetic energy.

Victor Vasarely

Victor Vasarely was born in Pécs in Hungary in 1906. He started studying at the Podolini-Volkmann Academy in Budapest in 1927. In 1930 he moved to Paris where he successfully worked as a graphic designer and started exploring the effect of geometric patterns on the senses. Through that interest he created his own geometric abstractions. The variations of these are image patterns with kinetic effects on the viewer. With this concept Vasarely created the basis and a fundament for the origins of Op Art. Between 1955 and 1968 he regularly took part in the Documenta. In 1976 he opened his Vasary foundation in Aixe-en-Provence and helped to build an institute for architecture. In the same year the city Pécs, where he was born, honoured him with a Vasarely museum. A second museum opened in 1987 at the castle Zichy in Budapest. (cru)
