Victor Vasarely The Father of Op Art
Let’s Talk… • How was this image made? • What colors are used? • What do you see?
A little about why it started… • In 1947, Vasarely discovered his place in abstract art. • Influenced by his experiences at Breton Beach of Belle Isle, he concluded that "internal geometry" could be seen below the surface of the entire world.
This is titled “Vega.” • Do you see it coming in or out? • What colors are in this work? • How did he achieve this illusion?
What the critics think… • "the structure immediately became more dynamic, but also highly unstable, visually speaking. What we actually have is a montage of perceptual hypotheses. Each element functions through its own ambiguity; consequently, the kinetics here reach a very high level of complexity.
In ENGLISH please!! • One could say that I created the optical illusion of perpetual motion." • What does that all mean?
How much is it worth? • Well, right now this original is starting an auction on e-bay for $14,500. • Remember this is about $10 worth of materials, the rest is in the genius!
