- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024One key fact about Victor Vasarely is that he is considered the grandfather of Op art due to his eye-popping geometric abstractions that play with the viewer’s perception of depth, perspective and motion. He was born in Pécs, Austria-Hungary, on April 9, 1906, and began studying medicine at the Eötvös Loránd University in 1925 with the hope of one day becoming a doctor. Two years later, he shifted gears and enrolled in a painting course at the Podolini-Volkmann Academy. 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. One final fact is that both Hungary and France have issued postage stamps featuring his artwork. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Victor Vasarely art.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Here are some facts about Victor Vasarely's art. First, his work contributed to the development of Op art and consisted largely of 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. Vasarely wasn't just attempting to fool the eye; he wanted to "democratize" art by producing work in large editions at reasonable prices and with themes that were understandable across national and cultural boundaries. Also, Vasarely 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." On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Victor Vasarely art.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Victor Vasarely was an abstract artist. Specifically, he was a part of the Op art movement, which focused on depicting two-dimensional abstract images that appear three-dimensional.
