Beschreibung
VICTOR VASARELY (Pécs, Hungary, 1906 - Paris, 1997).
"Kaaba li", 1988.
Lithograph, copy 186/250.
Signed and justified in pencil.
Measurements: 101.6 x 63.5 cm.
Syncopated geometric rhythms and wefts immerse us in a work that is completely distinctive of Vasarely's language. In it, the Franco-Hungarian artist relies on pure geometric composition to take us into a cosmic universe, in which spherical and checkered forms define the vibrant rhythm of his imaginary.
Considered the father of Op Art, Victor Vasarely began his artistic training at the Muheely school, founded in Budapest by a Bauhaus pupil. He settled in Paris in 1930, where he produced what is now considered the first Op Art work, "Zebra" (1937). In Paris he worked as a graphic designer for advertising agencies. During this period his artistic style shifted from figurative expression to a constructive and geometric type of abstract art, with an interest in the representation of perspective without vanishing points. Between 1936 and 1948 he participated regularly in the Salon des Surindependents and the Salon des Nouvelles Réalités. From 1948 onwards he exhibited regularly at the Denise René gallery. In the 1950s his work moved towards the use of new materials and supports, such as aluminium and glass. He also began to produce works that integrated with space, such as Homage to Malevich. In the 1960s he took part in numerous group exhibitions, such as The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as solo exhibitions in Europe and America. Among the numerous awards he received during his lifetime, the Guggenheim Prize (1964), the Brussels Art Critics' Prize and the gold medal at the Milan Triennial are particularly noteworthy. In 1970 he was made a Knight of the Order of the Legion of Honour. He is represented in the museums dedicated to him in Aix-en-Provence, Pécs and Budapest, but also in the most important contemporary art centres in the world, such as the Tate Gallery in London, the MoMA in New York, the Guggenheim in Venice and the Reina Sofía in Madrid.
