Silkscreen print in colour. - Signed and numbered - Editor: Denise René, Paris // Victor Vasarely's Sorbonne, created in 1973, is a vibrant silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist’s pioneering work in the Op Art movement. The composition features a grid of colorful geometric shapes—circles, squares, triangles, and diamonds—arranged in a rhythmic pattern across a rich brown background. The shapes are rendered in striking hues of red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and black, creating an optical effect that draws the viewer’s eye across the grid. The orderly yet varied placement of forms generates a sense of depth and movement, typical of Vasarely’s exploration of visual perception and spatial illusions. Signed and numbered by the artist, this print was published by Denise René in Paris as part of an edition limited to 425. Sorbonne is a testament to Vasarely’s mastery of color and form, inviting viewers to experience the dynamic interplay of shapes and shades.

What is concrete art?
Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
