Victor Vasarely (1908 – 1997) nasce a Pécs in Ungheria. Studia a Budapest all’accademia Podolini-Volkmann e in seguito alla scuola di arti grafiche Mühely diretta da Alexander Bortnyik secondo i precetti del Bauhaus. Nel 1930 si trasferisce a Parigi, dove lavora come artista commercialefino al 1940, perlopiù come disegnatore di poster con uno spiccato interesse per gli effetti trompe-l’oeil, i motivi grafici e le illusioni spaziali. Dal 1944 si consacra esclusivamente alla pittura e lo stesso anno presenta la sua prima personale alla Galerie Denise René. Dal 1947 si dedica all’astrazione costruttiva-geometrica e alla fine degli anni ’50 fonda la Op Art, conosciuta come Optical Art,, movimento distinto dagli accostamenti aggressivi tra distinti motivi. Vasarely inventa un alfabeto plastico di colori e forme standardizzate da poter essere utilizzate in un’ampia gamma di variazioni, e riprodotte all’infinito. Vasarely raggiunge una grande fama e viene insignito di prestigiosi riconoscimenti in tutto il mondo. Nel 1970 fonda il proprio museo presso il Château de Gordes e sei anni dopo fonda la Fondation Vasarely a Aix-en-Provence.
