Transchromie (from the exhibition "60/72: Douze Ans d'Art Contemporain en France") 1972

"Transchromie" by Carlos Cruz-Diez, created in 1972, is a vibrant example of the artist's exploration of color and its relationship to light. The artwork consists of a series of vertical, parallel lines of different colors, creating a dynamic visual experience. Cruz-Diez, a prominent figure in the kinetic art movement, aimed to challenge the viewer's perception of color by using its interaction with light to produce ever-changing effects. His work transcends traditional boundaries, inviting the viewer to become an active participant in the artistic process. The viewer's movement and the interplay of light and shadow create a constantly evolving color experience, embodying the principles of kinetic art and Cruz-Diez's innovative use of color.
