Victor Vasarely Hungarian, 1906-1997
Victor Vasarely (born 9 April 1906, Pécs, Hungary — died 15 March 1997, Paris) is widely accepted as a leader and grandfather of the Op art movement. Zebra (1937) is considered among the earliest Op art examples.
Trained in Budapest in the Bauhaus tradition, he settled in Paris in 1930. By the 1940s his characteristic geometric surfaces and interacting colors had emerged, while brighter colors in the 1950s and 1960s heightened the suggestion of movement through optical illusion. He is presented by The Wall Art Gallery, Miami.
