Styles

// 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 kinetic art?
Artwork by Jesus Rafael Soto

What is kinetic art?

Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
