From the Gordes portfolio. Screenprint on white cardboard, signed and numbered in pencil. Sheet: 72 x 62 cm Image: 60 x 42 cm Published by Fondation Vasarely, Château de Gordes Printed by Arcay, Paris. Reference : Benavides 165 Gordes Kidio (1971) by Victor Vasarely is a compelling screenprint from his influential Gordes portfolio, which explores the visual language of geometric abstraction and optical illusion. Executed on white cardboard, the composition features a meticulously arranged structure of angular shapes and vivid color blocks, creating a dynamic interplay of perspective and depth. Vasarely employs a grid-based system to manipulate visual perception, generating a kinetic effect that appears to shift and pulsate as the viewer’s gaze moves across the surface. The work exemplifies his systematic approach to color theory and spatial distortion, inviting viewers into an active visual engagement with the piece. Hand-signed and numbered in an edition of 250, Gordes Kidio was published by the Fondation Vasarely in Château de Gordes and printed by Arcay in Paris. It stands as a quintessential example of Vasarely’s vision of art as a participatory optical experience.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
