Victor Vasarely (1908- ) creates vivid optical illusions through clearly defined geometric forms and refined and elegant use of color contrast. His works have evoked much sympathy from the world of graphic design in Japan. Vasarely's works derived from "models for the original pictures" and have been produced in quantity through the variety of mediums: His lithographic and silk-screen prints have been adapted, enlarged, and reduced to create tapestries, monuments synthesizing sculpture and architecture, as well as works making use of the latest computerized reproduction techniques. In an age when "the original work of art" still stands as a measure of value, art which has the capacity to reproduce itself is often slighted or misunderstood. Vasarely, however, has stated that the value of artworks lie in their rarity not in number but in the quality of their manifestation. This study analyzes the manner in which opposing optical concepts such as "light and dark," "red and green," "brightness and dullness," or "negative and positive" work to create unity in Vasarely's works, made from the harmony of the effectiveness of their geometric illusion and their color contrasts. It also pursues the theme of color effects in optical art as a whole. In addition, it will attempt to expand the possibilities of graphic design posed by Vasarely's formative mass media techniques and means of reproduction used in printing.
