From 4th February to 22nd April 2007 Bayreuth Art Museum is going to present works of Victor Vasarely which belong to the enormous stock of the Janus Pannonius Museum at Pécs in Hungary. 75 gouaches, tempera paintings, carpets and metal-reliefs form a representative cross-section of Vasarely´s oeuvre. The artist was born in Pécs in Hangary in 1906, and died in Paris in 1997. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive programme of events (information: phone 0921 / 7645310; internet: www.kunstmuseum-bayreuth.de).
Vasarely created the art trend Op Art. His works are based on standardized forms and colours which can be strung together and varied quite differently. In his vision of aesthetics Vasarely wanted to create a new every day world and to change the society. Vasarely did not want to exclude anyone from this new-creation of the world by means of art, that is why he employed numerous employees to produce payable works corresponding his aesthetic programme.
