All quotes by Victor Vasarely (101)
Art should be democratic, accessible to all.
The kinetic in art is the dynamic of the soul.
I paint with mathematics.
Beauty is in the vibration of forms.
The eye must see beyond the surface.
Op art is not trickery, it is truth revealed.
Life is a canvas of illusions we must navigate.
Form without color is like body without soul.
The future of art lies in the programmed image.
Perception is the artist's greatest tool.
I seek the harmony in discord of colors.
Art is the bridge between mind and matter.
The geometric form is eternal.
In art, as in life, movement is illusion.
Color must sing, form must dance.
The artist decodes the visual alphabet.
True art provokes the mind to question reality.
Space is not empty; it is filled with potential forms.
My paintings are experiments in perception.
The essence of beauty is in optical tension.
