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, and noted that these patterns had kinetic effects on the viewer. With this concept, Vasarely created the basis and fundament for the origins of Op art. Between 1955 and 1968, he regularly took part in the documenta. In 1976, he opened the Vasarely foundation in Aix-en-Provence and helped to build an institute for architecture. In the same year, the city Pécs, where he was born, honored him with the opening of a Vasarely Museum. A second museum opened in 1987 at the castle Zichy in Budapest. (fea)
