// Kaldor by Victor Vasarely, created in 1980, is a captivating silkscreen print that exemplifies his iconic use of geometric shapes to manipulate spatial perception. This limited edition piece, produced in an edition of 250, portrays a three-dimensional cube-like space formed by a grid of brightly colored squares. Each wall, floor, and ceiling panel is composed of squares in varying shades of green, orange, yellow, pink, and red, converging toward a luminous focal point in the center of the back wall. This arrangement creates an optical illusion of depth, drawing the viewer’s gaze inward, as if peering into a vibrant, multi-dimensional chamber. Vasarely’s precise color choices and symmetrical design enhance the sense of movement and immersion, inviting viewers to explore the complex interplay between two-dimensional art and perceived three-dimensionality. Kaldor is a striking example of Vasarely’s mastery in Op Art, transforming flat surfaces into dynamic visual environments.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
