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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
