Pluton III 1972 - 1973

"Pluton III" is a 1972-1973 work by Victor Vasarely, a Hungarian-born artist who is considered a pioneer of Op Art, or Optical Art. Op Art uses geometric patterns and optical illusions to create a dynamic and often mesmerizing visual experience. In "Pluton III," Vasarely creates the illusion of a sphere, composed of repeating geometric shapes, receding into the background. This piece highlights the power of visual perception and the way our eyes interpret patterns and shapes to create depth and movement.
