Focusing on the complexities of the hexagon, the Vasarely visually contracts and expands the visual plain. Created and painted in 1967, it is dated 1967 on the reverse of the board, this image is a rare vintage work. The work is also signed and titled on the reverse and is marked by the stamp of Studio Bellini, Milan. Tonally dividing the picture plain, Vasarely creates an image that shifts from warm tones along the lower region of the image to cool tones along the upper portion. This progression of tonal variation is complicated by the artist's insertion of orange and purple hexagons at the top and blue and green at the bottom. Continually fluctuating the artist's creates a highly complex and mathematical sense of motion. Of the hexagon series Vasarely states, "the structure immediately became more dynamic, but also highly unstable, visually speaking. What we actually have is a montage of perceptual hypotheses. Each element functions through its own ambiguity; consequently, the kinetics here reach a very high level of complexity. One could say that I created the optical illusion of perpetual motion." PROVENANCE: Vasarely, Collection of the Artist Studio Bellini, Milano Robert Lee, New Orleans, LA (purchased in the 1960’s) The Estate of Robert Lee Spencer Lee, Phoenix, AZ (by descent) About the Framing:This work is displayed in a modern tiered frame. A simple inner frame consists of a dark gray matte and thin metal molding. The outer frame is comprised of a matching metallic molding and light gray linen matte. This presentation compliments the strict structuring of the image while complimenting the artist's use of color.
