The artwork titled “Zebra” by Victor Vasarely, created in 1950, belongs to the Op Art movement. It is rendered in gouache on board, with dimensions of 20 x 36 cm. This animal painting showcases the intricate and fascinating visual effects characteristic of the Op Art genre.
The artwork features a zebra depicted through the use of bold black and white stripes. The lines, meticulously arranged, form a mesmerizing pattern that brings forth the image of the zebra amidst the abstract background. The interplay of these stripes creates an optical illusion, offering a sense of depth and movement within the composition. The zebra, both the subject and the medium of the illusion, is masterfully integrated into the fabric of the artwork, exemplifying Victor Vasarely’s skill in blending form and perception.
