Vasarely III – Victor Vasarely 1974 | Monograph vol. 3

Vasarely III by Marcel Joray and Victor Vasarely is the third volume in a series of richly produced monographs published by Editions du Griffon in Neuchâtel, Switzerland during the 1970s. This book presents a vibrant and comprehensive look at Vasarely’s continuing evolution as the father of Op Art, focusing on his mature period when he had fully developed his distinctive system of geometric abstraction and optical experimentation. Marcel Joray’s text provides a thoughtful critical framework, situating Vasarely’s work within the broader context of modernist movements, while Vasarely’s own writings articulate his vision of a universal visual language—rooted in modular form, vibrant color, and perceptual science. The book features a wide selection of full-color plates and black-and-white illustrations that showcase Vasarely’s “plastic alphabet” and his ambition to integrate art into architecture and public life. As a fine art edition, Vasarely III is both a collector’s item and an essential document of one of the twentieth century’s most influential visual thinkers.
