// Dauve by Victor Vasarely, created in 1978, is a silkscreen print that encapsulates the artist's Op Art mastery through a striking play of depth and illusion. This limited edition piece, produced in an edition of 200, presents a central spherical form that appears to bulge outward, created by a grid of squares in blue and yellow tones. The surrounding space warps in a concave fashion, enhancing the three-dimensional effect and giving the impression of looking into a geometric tunnel. Vasarely’s precise color gradation and symmetry transform the flat plane into a vibrant, immersive visual experience. The artwork’s balance of cool and warm colors further intensifies the illusion of movement and depth, drawing the viewer’s eye into the center. Dauve is a quintessential example of Vasarely’s ability to manipulate simple forms to create complex, mind-bending effects, inviting viewers to engage with spatial perception and optical phenomena.

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.
