Etudes Bauhaus A 1929

"Etudes Bauhaus A" is a 1929 work by Victor Vasarely, a Hungarian-French painter and graphic artist known as the "father of Op art." This small, geometric composition, composed of nested squares and rectangles, employs a limited palette of browns, grays and white. The image is a study of form and color that exemplifies Vasarely's interest in optical illusions and geometric abstraction, a signature style of the Bauhaus school that he embraced. This minimalist work exemplifies Vasarely's early exploration of optical art and his desire to create art that is both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating.
