Pierre Vasarely has confirmed the authenticity of the works, Paris October 21, 2009. After graduating from high school, the Hungarian artist first enrolled in the medical faculty at the University of Budapest, which he left after two years. He will always maintain his insatiable thirst for scientific knowledge. In 1929 he entered the botherly, a school that was founded by Alexander Bortnyik in Dessau based on the model of the Bauhaus. The ideas of the Bauhaus, which were also taught and represented in the Hungarian school, had a very strong influence on the young artist. He studied constructivism in depth and discovered abstract art. Even at this point in time he was striving for an art that would adapt to the changes of the modern industrial age. In 1930 he left Hungary and went to Paris, where he found a job in the famous Havas advertising agency. He begins by developing his aesthetic foundations for his graphic works and sets up the basic program for his kinetic works. He explores different themes: linear structures, material effects and plays of light and shadow. From 1960 onwards he brought color into his work and continued to try to realize his idea of creating art with a universal visual language - an art that is accessible to everyone. For Vasarely, color is a new way to create movement in his works. But even in his colorful works, movement does not arise from the composition or is dependent on the object depicted, but solely on optical perception. Vasarely died in 1997 at the age of 91, leaving behind an unparalleled legacy in the field of abstract-geometric-kinetic art.
