Victor Vasarely (1908-1997, Hungary) "Untitled" -This is a hand-signed limited edition (48/75) unframed vintage lithograph. It is unusually sized at 35" x 23" and has some browning on the edges that will be hidden when framed. Otherwise it is in excellent condition. This work sets a multicolored hexagon - which appears as a visually unstable set of interlocking cubes and cube-shaped spaces - against a bright blue background. One of the artist's iconic cubic pieces, the image focuses on the shape's complexities and shifts from warm to cool color tones, creating a sense of motion. Ships free in the USA.
Vasarely is primarily known for his involvement in the international Op-art movement of the 1960s.
He was perhaps the first modern artist to realize that Kinetic Art did not have to move. Instead he created an extraordinary series of paintings and sculptures which used geometrical effects to suggest motion within static forms. As a painter, he created intricate abstractions that suggested depth and dimensionality using a variety of optical illusions, with surfaces seeming to bulge out of the canvas. His works present color, form, and pattern as a single interconnected element—a concept that was critical to the foundation of the Op Art movement and the focus of his mature works.
