Carlos CRUZ-DIEZ (né en 1923) Titre Composition cinétique Technique Sérigraphie E-A Dimensions 78 x 78 cm. Date 1987 Signature 'Cruz-Diez 87 en bas à droite Mouvement Abstraction cinétique Pays Venezuela Cadre Baguette noire Prix 900 euros Carlos Cruz-Diez is a Venezuelan artist, who is most notable for his innovative use of colours. Carlos Cruz-Diez is known internationally for his experiments with Op and Kinetic art, which he has developed since the 1950s. Traditionally, Kinetic art includes moving elements. In Cruz-Diez's work the movement is an optical illusion, produced by his sophisticated use of light and colour to create virtual volumes. These move and change depending on the position of the viewer. Physichromie No. 1270 belongs to a series of such works begun in 1959. This piece comprises a painted background of vertical narrow coloured lines on to which painted vertical PVC divisions have been placed at right angles. As the viewer passes the work, previously invisible colours and geometric forms emerge and the whole composition appears to vibrate.   Pour en savoir plus sur Carlos CRUZ-DIEZ
