Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was a French-Hungarian artist credited as the grandfather and leader of the Op Art movement. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, he created compelling illusions of spatial depth. The artist’s vibrant compositions feature a mix of rigidly geometric and more fluid forms which, when combined with monochromatic or diverse color palettes, produce the optical illusions that give Op art its name. Vasarely’s method of painting borrowed from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design principles, Wassily Kandinsky, and Constructivism.

Vasarely exhibited widely during his lifetime in cities including New York, Paris, Cologne, Caracas, and Budapest. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. In 2019, a temporary exhibition of Vasarely's work entitled Le Partage des Formes was displayed in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. See less
