About the Item

Victor Vasarely (1906 – 1997) The Leopard (Leau – 1) Serigraph in colors on handmade black paper, c.1990 Sheet size: 32” x 39” full margins Signed and numbered 33/100 in pencil, lower margin. Vasarely’s “Leopard 1” was made in cooperation with Frank Gallo and Circle Fine Art. In 1990, Vasarely attended the openings of two major retrospective exhibitions at Circle Gallery – Soho, New York, and Circle Gallery, Chicago. “Leopard” is a series of Vasarely’s rarer subjects and in this color combination even more so. Vasarely’s work has been incredibly influences by the cognition that “pure form and pure color can signify the world.” a thought that changed his whole manner of painting. The animal is painted in clear lines and only a few colors, but his grace and power are left untouched by his reduction. The power of this composition makes it easy to see why Vasarely is known as the founder of the Op-Art movement whose visual concept is take from the ideas of the German Bauhaus and the Russian Constructivism. Victor Vasarely was a French-Hungarian artist credited as the father of the Op Art movement. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth, as seen in his work Vega-Nor (1969). Vasarely’s method of painting borrowed from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design principles, Wassily Kandinsky, and Constructivism. Born Vasarhelvi Gyozo on April 9, 1906, in Pecs, Hungary, he briefly studied medicine at university, but at the Muhly 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 as a graphic artist while creating many proto-Op Art works including Zebra (1937). The artist experimented in a style based in Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism during the 1940’s before arriving at his hallmark checkerboard works. Op Art went on to have several practitioners including Bridget Riley and Yaacov Agam. Vasarely died at the age of 90 in Paris, France. Victor Vasarely is internationally recognized as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Vasarely is the acknowledged leader of the Op Art movement, and his innovations in color and optical illusion have had a strong influence on many modern artists. In 1947, Vasarely discovered his place in the abstract art. Influenced by his experiences at Breton Beach of Belle Isle, he concluded that “internal geometry” could be seen below the surface of the entire world. He conceived that form and color are inseparable. “Every form is a base for color, every color is the attribute of a form.” Forms from nature were thus transposed into purely abstract elements in his paintings. Recognizing the inner geometry of nature, Vasarely wrote, “the ellipsoid form… will slowly, but tenaciously, take hold of the surface, and become its raison d’etre. Henceforth, this ovoid form will signify in all my works of this period, the ‘oceanic feeling’…. I can no longer admit an inner world and another, an outer world, apart. The within and the without communicate by osmosis, or, one might rather say: the spatial-material universe, energetic-living, feeling-thinking, form a whole, indivisible…. The language of the spirit is but the supervibrations of the great physical nature.” Vasarely’s works are presently held in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Gallery in London and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

"Angel More" from Mother of Us All by Robert Indiana

Located in Hinsdale, IL

ROBERT INDIANA Angel More (Mother of Us All) Screenprint in colors on Arches, 1977 Impression 14 of an edition of 150 Image Size: 18” x 14” Signed, dated, and numbered in lower margin Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Intended for publication by Amiel, New York. Sheehan 96-108. The Mother of Us All, is an opera which imaginatively chronicles the story of Susan B. Anthony and the women's suffrage movement, written by Gertrude Stein and composed by Virgil Thompson in 1945. In 1976 Robert Indiana was hired to create the costumes and set design for the Santa Fe Opera Company’s production of The Mother to Us All. This collection of lithographs illustrates Indiana's costume designs for the Virgil Thomson-Gertrude Stein same-titled opera. Robert Indiana is one of the most recognized names in Contemporary and Pop Art, his LOVE sculptures, paintings, and prints are by far his most iconic pieces. It all began in the summer of 1965, when The Museum of Modern Art commissioned Indiana to design its Christmas card. He submits LOVE in four color possibilities; the museum selects the red, blue, and green version. In 1967 he produces three serigraphs of LOVE, and two serigraphs of LOVE Wall. During the next two years, produces other serigraph variations on LOVE, with more following in 1972, 1973, 1975, 1982, and 1991. Indiana’s LOVE motif has since been translated into a US postage stamp...
