of 12/09/20 to 12/09/21
As part of its collaboration with the National Museum of Modern Art – Centre Pompidou, the Vasarely Foundation presents a selection of some twenty works by artists from South America and Eastern Europe.
It has sometimes been said that optico-kinetic art in France was essentially the result of the arrival in Paris of young South American artists who came to meet a Hungarian, Victor Vasarely. The thesis, if it is a little caricatured, nevertheless has an element of truth. In fact, Paris has been a meeting place for artists, preoccupied with questions of dynamism, light, and more generally vision, coming from Eastern Europe and South American artists.
The “Sud-Est” exhibition is built around this theme.
Works by:
Carmelo Arden Quin, Antonio Asis, Henryk Berlewi, Martha Boto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Horacio García Rossi, Julije Knifer, Stanislav Kolibál, Gyula Kosice, Piotr Kowalski, Juan Melé, Vera Molnár, István Nádler, Nicolas Schöffer, Jesús Rafael Soto, Henryk Stazewski, Victor Vasarely et Jan Ziemski.
