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 constructivism?
Constructivism is an architectural and artistic philosophy of Russian origin that emerged as a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. The movement advocated for art to serve practical social purposes. Since its inception in 1919, Constructivism has evolved and significantly impacted 20th-century art movements, influencing major trends such as De Stijl and Bauhaus.
