Victor Vasarely - Vega - Boo 1879

VICTOR VASARELY
The Inventor of Op-Art (optical-art)

French painter of Hungarian descent (1906 - 1997).
Victor Vasarely defined one of the most remarkable moments in the history of 20th century art.

Vasarely was born in Pécs, Hungary, in 1906.

He left Hungary and settled in Paris in 1930.

In 1965, he participated in the "Responsive Eye" exhibit at the New York Museum of Modern Art, dedicated exclusively to "Optical Art". This pictorial movement attached itself to the concept of suggesting motion without ever actually performing it. It instituted a new relationship between artist and spectator, where the observer cannot remain passive, he is free to interpret the image in as many visual scenarios ha can conceive. Received with great acclaim, the press and the public hailed Vasarely as the inventor and creator of "Op-Art".

From 1968 on, playing with the deformation of the line, Vasarely defined his "universal structures", and dove into the immensely popular and widely known "VEGA" period (1968-1984)

In March 15, 1997, he died at the age of 91, leaving behind a plastic legacy unrivaled within the domain of abstract geometrical kinetic art.



The painting I'm doing, originally it's called boo of year 1879, relates to vasarely's Vega phase.
