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 Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
