Silkscreen print in colour. - Signed and numbered - Editor: Denise René, Paris // Victor Vasarely's Sorbonne, created in 1973, is a vibrant silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist’s pioneering work in the Op Art movement. The composition features a grid of colorful geometric shapes—circles, squares, triangles, and diamonds—arranged in a rhythmic pattern across a rich brown background. The shapes are rendered in striking hues of red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and black, creating an optical effect that draws the viewer’s eye across the grid. The orderly yet varied placement of forms generates a sense of depth and movement, typical of Vasarely’s exploration of visual perception and spatial illusions. Signed and numbered by the artist, this print was published by Denise René in Paris as part of an edition limited to 425. Sorbonne is a testament to Vasarely’s mastery of color and form, inviting viewers to experience the dynamic interplay of shapes and shades.

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.
