Victor Vasarely Hungarian/French (1908-1997) born Pecs, Hungary Vasarely studied in Budapest with Laslo Moholy-Nagy, and moved to Paris in 1930, where he settled and took up work as a raphic artist. In 1943 he turned to painting, and four years later began to develop the style of geometric abstraction for which he is now best known. From the mid-1950s onwards he was a regular exhibitor at the Galerie Denise Rene in Paris (and later in New York), which championed geometric, or hard-edged abstraction. With his emphasis on visual ambiguity, Vasarely is regarded as the principal originator of what, from the mid-1960s, was to be known as Op Art.
