All quotes by Victor Vasarely (101)
The work of art must be a source of wonder.
My art is a celebration of the human mind.
The artist must be a teacher, a guide.
I want to create an art that is both accessible and challenging.
The work of art must be a source of transformation.
My art is a journey into the self.
The artist must be a revolutionary.
I want to create an art that is both timeless and ephemeral.
The work of art must be a source of dialogue.
My art is a celebration of the universe.
Art is not a luxury, it is a necessity for the human spirit.
The picture is no inert canvas, it is a living organism.
I am against the idea of youth. It is a social error.
Geometry is the language of the universe.
Color is the soul of form.
Pure form and pure color can express the inexpressible.
The artist must be a mathematician of the eye.
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
My work is a search for the absolute in the visual.
Light and shadow are the poetry of space.
