Malwa 1950 - 1955

"Malwa," created between 1950 and 1955 by Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely, is a prime example of his signature style known as Op Art. The artwork features a stark composition of geometric shapes, primarily black and white squares, against a vibrant blue background. Vasarely's use of contrasting colors and simple forms creates an illusion of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye into the central, seemingly recessed square. This work showcases Vasarely's exploration of optical illusions and his innovative approach to abstract art, which became a hallmark of his career.
