A marvelous modern Op Art serigraph titled "Chessboard" by Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely. Published in 1975. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 146/300 on the bottom left. Known for creating geometric shapes in an interesting optical illusion, Vasarely takes his unique vision and creates his own version of a chessboard. This is a slight departure from the artist's oeuvre making this silkscreen a rare and unique find. This artwork would be a powerful addition to a modern or contemporary designed game room. Dimensions: 38.25"w x 1"d x 38.25"h (framed). In very good condition.
Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was an artist credited as the grandfather and leader of the Op Art movement. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth, as seen in his work Vega-Nor (1969). Vasarely’s method of painting borrowed from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design principles, Wassily Kandinsky, and Constructivism. Vasarely worked in advertising agencies to support himself as a graphic artist while creating many works including Zebra (1937), which is considered by some to be one of the earliest examples of Op Art. 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. In 2019, a temporary exhibition of Vasarely's work entitled Le Partage des Formes was displayed in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. less
