Description:
|
In the early 1960s, Vasarely put forward a proposal for the use of a universal visual language formulated in accordance with the principle of the Plastic Unit, which he called 'planetary folklore'. He believed that regularly arranged and numbered, homogeneous colors and constant forms, of the kind that could be manufactured industrially, could have meaning attached to them. These could also be scaled to use with architecture. The first of his architectural integrations was implemented in Venezuela in 1954, on the campus of the Central University of Caracas; this was followed by monumental ‘plastic’ installations on buildings in Bonn, Essen, Paris and Grenoble.
