Victor Vasarely
Victor Vasarely was born in Pecs (Hungary). He began studying medecine, left these courses and joined the fine art (1927-1929), his first personal exhibition was organized in Budapest in 1930, this same year he settled down in Paris. During a first period, Vasarely created a plastic alphabet whose infinite combinations had to give birth to an "intellectual and methodical art". He gradually gave up the applied arts and was interested in a abstract pictorial creation. In 1965 Victor Vasarely participated to the exhibition "Responsive Eye" in New York wich dedicated the optical Art (Op Art). In 1976, he created his foundation in Aix-en-Provence, and drew a building that concretized his conception of the art in the town. He has been celebrated in the biggest museums of the world. Victor Vasarely died in 1997 in Annet-sur-Marne, France. |
