A series of eight 16"x16" heliogravure, glossy, deeply colored prints on heavy paper of geometric abstractions- the types easily recognizable as Vasarely.

Victor Vasarely (1906–1997) was a Hungarian-French artist celebrated as one of the founding figures of Op Art, a movement defined by its use of geometric forms and optical illusion to create the sensation of movement and depth. Born Győző Vásárhelyi in Pécs, Hungary, Vasarely trained at the Bauhaus-centered Muhely Academy in Budapest before moving to Paris in 1930, seeking greater opportunities for artistic growth. Initially supporting himself as a graphic designer and commercial artist, Vasarely applied his keen understanding of visual perception and composition to advertising and poster design, experiences that deeply influenced his later artistic style.
During the late 1940s and 1950s, Vasarely began to develop his signature approach: vibrant and rigorously structured paintings and prints composed of interlocking shapes, grids, and brilliant color contrasts. His mature works, including seminal series like “Vega” and works such as “Zebra” (1937), not only garnered international acclaim but also helped popularize Op Art throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Vasarely’s innovative art has had a profound impact on visual culture and is represented in many of the world’s leading museums. He founded the Vasarely Foundation in Aix-en-Provence in 1976, further cementing his legacy as an innovator and advocate for the integration of art, science, and the built environment.
