Victor Vasarely Retrospective Showcases Op Art at Naples Art Institute

The Naples Art Institute in Naples, Florida, is hosting a retrospective exhibition titled 'The Absolute Eye' featuring works by Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely. The display includes over 100 pieces such as serigraphs, lithographs, gouache paintings, drawings, and small sculptures. Vasarely, who lived from 1906 to 1997, is recognized as a leading figure in the Op Art movement, known for using geometric patterns and color to create optical illusions. The exhibition highlights his influence on visual perception and his contributions to kinetic art. It also notes that his prints currently sell for thousands of dollars. The show provides insight into Vasarely's techniques, including his use of mathematical principles and axonometric projection to achieve three-dimensional effects on flat surfaces.
