Victor Vasarely (1908-1997)

Inventor of Op Art, (without the help of the computer!) born in Hungary and died in France, Vasarely was a leading artist of the 20th century. His name is associated to a real visual revolution whose impact is reflected in the art, design and landscapes of our cities. In his works, the shapes, colours and contrasts assembled create a visual experience that is renewed every time.

Vasarely's desire to bring art within everyone's reach is accompanied by an intimate wish: to nurture the soul of the general public with beauty and poetry.

His perfectionism demanded absolute quality. As, according to Vasarely, "originals are no more important than their reproductions."
