Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, 6 February - 6 May 2019

This book is the catalogue of the first French retrospective devoted to the father of optical art for more than 50 years.

After a childhood between Pécs and Budapest, Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) moved to Paris in 1930 where he worked for advertising agencies as a graphic artist. He then laid the foundations of Opt Art, which flourished in the mid-1950s. His varied productions - paintings, multiples, commercials, architectural projects - give an account of his approach associating rationality and creation. Thanks to his pop abstractions, Vasarely becomes a major figure of popular culture and embodies the imagination of the Thirties Glorious.

Following a chronological itinerary, the exhibition tackles the major stages of the artist's life, from his formation in the footsteps of the Bauhaus to his last formal innovations, around the fourth dimension.
