Color is the heartbeat that propels vigorous pulses of energy and movement through “Donan 2, 1957 – 1958” by Op Art pioneer Victor Vasarely. Influenced by Constructivism, Cubism and Surrealism, Vasarely (1908 – 1997) fluently spoke a new artistic language that radically transformed nature into geometric shapes and juxtaposed, vibrating colors. Believing that color and form were identical, Vasarely produced works devoid of traditional representations, which invited limitless interpretations. One of the 20th century’s most important painters, Vasarely created advancements in color and optical illusion that profoundly influence today’s artists.
