European Entrepreneurs, Biography, Victor Vasarely, Op Art, Born in 1906

Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was a Hungarian-born French artist and a leading figure in the Op Art movement.

He developed a style of painting which relied on optical effects, often involving geometric shapes and vibrant colors.

Vasarely studied medicine, architecture, and painting and in 1925 he moved to Paris, where he designed posters and book covers.

In 1930, he adopted the pseudonym Vasarely and began painting abstract works.

By the 1950s, he had begun experimenting with optical illusions, creating pieces that appeared to move as the viewer passed.

In the 1960s, he founded the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel with other European artists, which further developed the Op Art style.

Vasarely's works are held in the collections of major galleries around the world, including the Tate in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
