Physichromie 625 1973

"Physichromie 625" (1973) by Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez exemplifies his signature "Chromaticism" style. The work consists of a grid of vertical lines, creating a mesmerizing optical illusion through the use of color. The shifting hues of blue, orange, and yellow appear to vibrate and change as the viewer's eye moves across the canvas, creating a captivating interplay between color and space. Cruz-Diez's exploration of color as a dynamic, independent element, rather than a means of representation, has had a profound impact on contemporary art.
