About the work

Victor Vasarely was the father of “Op Art”—making images that we could easily create today with computers but that in the middle parts of the Twentieth Century required a magical combination of mathematical and creative genius to create. This work highlights Vasarely’s facility with color and with shapes and movement. It is an exemplar of op art, even the more so for its beautiful application of paints, which are right, smooth, and remarkably crisp.
