5 FACTS ABOUT VICTOR VASARELY ⠀ 1️⃣ Victor Vasarely was a French-Hungarian artist credited as the father of the Op Art movement. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth. ⠀ ⠀ 2️⃣ Vasarely’s method of painting borrowed from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design principles, Wassily Kandinsky, and Constructivism. ⠀ ⠀ 3️⃣ Born Vásárhelyi Gyozo on April 9, 1906 in Pécs, Hungary, he briefly studied medicine at university, but after two years dedicated himself instead to painting. In fact, in the late 1920s, Vasarely enrolled at the Muhely Academy in Budapest, where the syllabus was largely based on Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus school in Germany. ⠀ ⠀ 4️⃣ After settling in Paris in 1930, Vasarely worked as a graphic artist while creating many proto-Op Art works including Zebra (1937). The artist experimented in a style based in Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism during the 1940s, before arriving at his hallmark checkerboard works. Op Art went on to have a number of practitioners, including Bridget Riley and Yaacov Agam. ⠀ ⠀ 5️⃣ The artist died at age 90 on March 15, 1997 in Paris, France. His works are presently held in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. ⠀ A black and white optical illusion by Victor Vasarely.

#theworldneedsmorespiralstaircases “I always loved geometric shapes,” said the photographer @peter.rajkai. “In my childhood I drew a lot in the style of #VictorVasarely.” Peter, who lives in Hungary, discovered this staircase in a commercial building in Berlin during a walk there last June. His passion for photography brought him to the city, which he considers a “gold mine” of architecture. On Sundays, we share your photos of spiral staircases. Because the world needs more of these. . . . #Berlin #spiralstaircase #staircasedesign #lookingdown #stairsandsteps #lookingdown #architectural #archilovers #berlindesign #germandesign #germanarchitecture #berlinarchitecture

Zèbres-A - Victor Vasarely (1938). This formative ink-on-paper work "stands out as pivotal to the growth of one of the most under-appreciated imaginations in modern cultural history." He went on to become the 'grandfather' of Op Art, with works which tricked the eyes, "his paintings’ surfaces appear like warping space-time webs," according to Kelly Grovier. But what is it about his zebra portraits? Grovier writes "the distinctive markings of the animal are transformed from something physical and empirical."
