The warped perspective is an iconic trademark of the artist, as he is widely accepted as a "grandfather" and leader of the Op art movement. The work is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist on the lower front corners, the image measures: 8¾ × 8¾ in. / 22 × 22 cm. and the sheet measures: 12¾ × 9⅜ in / 32 × 24 cm. Vasarely has been considered by some to be one of the earliest creators of Op art. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth, as his method of painting is borrowed from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design principles, Wassily Kandinsky, and Constructivism. Born Győző Vásárhelyi on April 9, 1906 in Pécs, Hungary, he briefly studied medicine, but after two years he dedicated himself to learn academic painting. 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. After settling in Paris in 1930, Vasarely worked in advertising agencies to support himself as a graphic artist. The artist experimented in a style based in Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism during the 1940s, before arriving at his hallmark checkerboard paintings. Op Art went on to have a number of practitioners, including Bridget Riley and Yaacov Agam. 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. In 2019, a temporary exhibition of Vasarely's work entitled Le Partage des Formes was displayed in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. less
