 Victor Vasarely the father of Op Art born 1908 at Pécs in Hungary.
School of Paris abstract painter, designer and maker of screenprints. Worked 1930-40 as a commercial artist, mainly designing posters. Interest in trompe-l'oeil effects, graphic patterns and space illusions. From 1944 devoted himself exclusively to painting. First one-man exhibition at the Galerie Denise René, Paris, 1944, with restless conflicting patterns incorporating zebras, chessboards, etc. Decided in 1947 to concentrate on constructive-geometric abstraction. Pioneered Op art in the later 1950s with compositions based on a continual aggressive interaction between different kinds of pattern, and invented a plastic alphabet of standardised colours, shapes, etc., which could be used in a wide range of permutations and would lend itself to endless reproduction.
