Victor Vasarely (Pécs, April 9, 1906 – Paris, March 15, 1997) was a French-Hungarian artist and one of the most important representatives of Op Art. Vasarely was born as Győző Vásárhelyi. He began his education in 1925 at the University of Budapest, where he studied medicine. He broke off this study and started drawing in 1927 at the private school of Podolini Volkmann. He then studied with Sándor Bortnyik from 1928. He continued his studies from 1929 to 1930 at his studio, an academy in Budapest on the lines of the Bauhaus. There he also met his future wife Klara Spinner. In 1930 he moved to Paris and worked there as a decorator and advertising artist. He began to develop a system in which he abstracted objects from everyday life. Vasarely became one of the leading figures of geometric abstract painting, also known as Op-Art (from: optical art), which became widely known in Europe and America in the 1960s. Usually Vasarely worked with strong contrasts, initially in black and white, later also in colour. The effect of his lines and the way he uses them is that the impression is created that everything in the image plane starts to vibrate.
