Description:

|
Vasarely presented the results of his analytical research into the Plastic Unit at an exhibition held in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1963. His formula for this was built on the structural interplay of form and color. He claimed to perceive a 'grammar' of visual language, with which a set of basic forms making up a composition could be arranged into a system similar to musical notation. He referred to this as his plastic alphabet. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
