Questions About Pastel Op Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    There are many examples of Op art by Victor Vasarely, who is widely considered the grandfather of this art movement. A classic example is 1937’s Zebra, which has 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. Other Op art works by Vasarely include Vega-Nor, The Chess Board, Vonal-Stri and Keple-Gestalt. Shop a range of Victor Vasarely art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Victor Vasarely produced Op art by employing principles of physics and geometry. He painted his works by hand with oils and acrylics on canvas in a way that made the images seem three-dimensional and capable of movement. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Victor Vasarely art.
