Description:
|
|
Between 1951 and 1959 Victor Vasarely continued working with geometric shapes and also began to paint predominantly in black and white. He called this period Kineticism. In Vega (painting, 1957), named after the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, Vasarely paints a huge checkerboard, its regularity disturbed by the bending of the lines that make the squares. He was to return to this idea in the 1970s, as the convex-concave distortions recall the pulsations of stars. The limited edition screen prints were created after the painting.
