Talabor 1951 - 1953

Victor Vasarely created "Talabor", using a combination of geometric abstraction and a carefully selected color palette. Born in Hungary in 1906, Vasarely’s work emerged in a period marked by significant social and political upheaval, including the rise of consumer culture and rapid technological advancements after the second world war. The clean lines and geometric shapes might remind us of the increasing mechanization of society. His use of contrasting colours challenges our perception and engages us in the visual experience. In this regard, it invites us to engage in the new world that was being built. The artwork reflects broader questions about perception, identity, and the self, prompting us to consider how our understanding of the world is constantly being shaped and reshaped by external forces. With "Talabor", Vasarely encourages us to question and expand our understanding of reality.
