- Summary
- Victor Vasarely's artistic oeuvre spans more than six decades. Born in 1906, he experienced, shaped and processed widely differing styles and influences of interbellum and post-war modernism. Today he merits rediscovery as one of the key artist figures of the twentieth century, whose pictorial language is still in use in many areas today. Thanks to the rapid spread of his multiples, Vasarely was omnipresent. Yet his popularity also made them available to the point of tedium. The more successful the artist, the more commonplace his art - which, tragically, led to the loss of its uniqueness. By the time he died in 1997, both his own popularity and that of Op Art had become obsolete. The comprehensive retrospective at the Städel Museum foregrounds Vasarely's painting oeuvre. In the process, we encounter not only a completely different and more complex artist, but also gain a new perspective on twentieth-century modernism.--Städel Museum website.
