// Vertigo by Victor Vasarely, created in 1982, is a silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist's exploration of optical illusions and spatial depth. This limited edition piece, produced in an edition of 65 with additional artist proofs, features a dynamic blue-and-white checkerboard pattern that forms a diamond shape within a larger grid. The central circular form and the distortion of squares toward the edges create an illusion of movement, as if the central shape is vibrating or pulsating outwards. The visual effect is dizzying, aptly evoking a sense of vertigo and challenging the viewer's perception of flatness versus depth. Vasarely’s precise arrangement of geometric forms and contrast between blue and white engage the eye in a rhythmic exploration, making the piece appear to shift as one’s gaze moves across it. Vertigo stands as a powerful example of Vasarely’s mastery in Op Art, transforming simple shapes into an immersive optical experience.

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.
