Description:
|
Vasarely first discussed the necessity for his works to be duplicated and disseminated widely in 1953. Then, in his Yellow Manifesto of 1955 he outlined his ideas on the possibilities of re-creation, multiplication and expansion. He believed that a basic set of elements such as numerical color codes and forms, could be transformed using a pre-selected algorithm into a virtually infinite number of different compositions. Although Vasarely himself had never worked with computers, his principles led logically to the possibility of creating images with such technology.
