// Vertigo by Victor Vasarely, created in 1982, is a silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist's exploration of optical illusions and spatial depth. This limited edition piece, produced in an edition of 65 with additional artist proofs, features a dynamic blue-and-white checkerboard pattern that forms a diamond shape within a larger grid. The central circular form and the distortion of squares toward the edges create an illusion of movement, as if the central shape is vibrating or pulsating outwards. The visual effect is dizzying, aptly evoking a sense of vertigo and challenging the viewer's perception of flatness versus depth. Vasarely’s precise arrangement of geometric forms and contrast between blue and white engage the eye in a rhythmic exploration, making the piece appear to shift as one’s gaze moves across it. Vertigo stands as a powerful example of Vasarely’s mastery in Op Art, transforming simple shapes into an immersive optical experience.

What is late modernism?
Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein

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.
