商品簡介
Widely considered the father of Op art, the Hungarian-born artist Victor Vasarely, 1906-1997, was intrumental not only in provoking a school of thought based on the relationship between art and science, but in creating some of the most striking geometric paintings in the history of late Modernism. This book, which gathers together a generous selection of his most significant works, celebrates his immense intelligence, passion, and artistry.
Robert C. Morgan's text provides insight into Vasarely's precise and hallucinatory images, discussing the evolution of the artist's work and of the ideas that shaped it. Among the many Vasarely explored, one of the most essential to his career was the idea of a utopian art form available to all, a democratized aesthetic that could transmit basic human values and thereby transform society.
