Description:
|
|
In the 1950s and early 1960s, Vasarely had a black and white period which he called Kineticism. Inspired by Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematist composition, Black and White (1915), which embodies the harmony of spirituality and is widely interpreted as the 'end point' of painting, Vasarely conceived of the picture titled Homage to Malevich (1954). Its basic component, a square rotated about its axis so that it appears as a rhombus, became the starting point of his 'kinetic' works which later developed into what was recognized as Op Art. In this later work, the black, white and gray graphic is now backed with a strong blue background. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
