Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was a French-Hungarian artist widely accepted as the “grandfather” and leader of the Op Art movement. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth. Before arriving at his hallmark checkerboard paintings, he experimented in a style based in Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism during the 1940’s.
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.
