	SWAP \| Victor Vasarely Biographical Information
		Vasarely's writings on the use of optical phenomena for artistic purposes and his paintings were a significant influence on younger artists.
		Vasarely was unusual in that he didn't do the painting of his artworks himself but put onto graph paper all kinds of partitions which he called "start-up prototypes." They were then enlarged and colored by assistants according to a range of strictly marked tints.
		Victor Vasarely was the acknowledged leader of the Op Art movement, and his innovations in color and optical illusion have had a strong influence on many modern artists.

		In this particular case, while Mr André VASARHELYI and Mrs Michèle TABURNO request the nullity of Victor VASARELY’s testament dated April 11, 1993 for insanity, they have to prove that Victor VASARELY was not sound of mind at the time of the testament, any mode of proof being admissible.
		The fact that Doctor COUSIN did not question in an exhaustive way the people around Victor VASARELY is not in itself a valid reason to have a second expertise ordered on his state of health; this request shall therefore be dismissed by the Tribunal.
		Finally, the variation of Victor VASARELY’s writing exposed by the defendants, and moreover not at all obvious, is not sufficient to show that the testator was not sound of mind.

		The illusion is successful due to the ways in which Vasarely used color, shape, and line.
		There is more to Vasarely’s art than the science of colors and optics, however.
		Vasarely was also inspired by nature, and it is here that meaning beyond the optical illusion can be found if desired.

	Victor Vasarely Review
		When Vasarely was painting this vision was a shared reality hindered only by technological progress.
		Vasarely sought to re-direct art back to a relationship with its origin, the everyday.
		Vasarely points us towards totality not because his kinetic geometry is a physics, but because the visual narcosis induced by his work is a metaphysics: found somewhere between the sensible and insensible, the intelligible and the unfathomable, the measurable and the immeasurable.

	Pattern Lesson 6 Art Part
		As a young artist in 1928, Victor Vasarely studied at the Bauhaus school in Budapest, fully identifying with the geometric Constructivist style.
		Vasarely used circular, oval, triangular, or square shapes in complex grids to create powerful optical pieces.
		Vasarely referred to these geometric modules, and the infinite variety of patterns they created, as "planetary folklore." He envisioned that technology itself would disseminate this art form, rather than individual artists.
