Victor Vasarely (1906 - 1997) Hungary
Victor Vasarely (1906 - 1997) Oil on Canvasboard, Signed, Measures ( 13.5 x 13.5 inches ) w/frame ( 23 x23 inches ) Victor Vasarely's innovations in color and optical illusion have had a profound influence on contemporary art. He is in the vanguard of contemporary artists who seek new ways to bring beauty and reality closer together, and his goal is to create art that becomes an integral part of everyday life and the environment. The artist was born in Pecs, Hungary, in 1908. After receiving his baccalaureate degree in medicine, he began studying art at the Podolini-Volkmann Academy in Budapest. In 1929, he transferred to the Muhely Academy, also known as the Budapest Bauhaus. There he became familiar with contemporary research in color and optics by Johannes Itten, Josef Albers and the Constructivists Malevich and Kandinsky. After his first one-man show in Budapest in 1930, Vasarely moved to Paris, the art center of the world. He established a successful business as a graphic draftsman, developing his fine art in the evenings after work.
