Victor Vasarely
Widely considered the grandfather of Op art, the French-Hungarian painter Victor Vasarely (1906–97) created eye-popping geometric abstractions that play with the viewer’s perception of depth, perspective and motion. A classic example is the 1937 Zebra, which consists of undulating black and white stripes that suggest the form of the titular animal through optical trickery. The work is often credited as the earliest Op art painting.
Such illusions were more than pleasing tricks for Vasarely, who insisted that “pure form and pure color can signify the world.” He wanted to “democratize” art by producing works in large editions at reasonable prices that were understandable across national and cultural boundaries. In the 1960s, he developed an alphabet plastique, or fine art alphabet, consisting of elementary visual building blocks that could be used in endless combinations to create original compositions. By employing this universal visual vocabulary and stripping away topical references, he sought to create what he called a “Planetary Folklore.”
Embodying Vasarely’s singular belief that art should serve a social function, accessible to all, these innovations may perhaps be his greatest contribution to 20th-century art.

- Corita Kent Original Serigraph Vietnam War Protest, "Wouldn't You Go to Jail.."By Corita KentLocated in Phoenix, AZOriginal serigraph by Sister Mary Corita Kent (1918-1986). Sheet size: 25"h x 30"w. Titled “Would You Go to Jail if it Would End the War? Quote by activist Daniel Ellsberg. Important & rare serigraph protesting the Vietnam war. Signed lower right in ink. Ca. 1971 Loosely tipped onto a black mat board measuring 26 x 31 inches. Neither matted nor framed. In excellent condition with no damage. Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986) was a nun and art teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles. Her departure from the school (and the order) in 1968, was partially related to tension between the order and the church over the progressive reforms of the Vatican II movement, but it was also timed with her own artistic commitments and rising renown. Throughout the 1960s, she made radio and TV appearances and lectured around the country. Before Warhol made the medium famous, she was working in serigraphy (screen-printing) because it could be cheaply mass-produced and widely disseminated. Her lively, colorful works speak through graphic simplicity as they combine Bible verses, brand logos, literary quotes, and even Beatles lyrics...Category
