This original porcelain Rosenthal relief by Victor Vasarely (Pécs, 1906 - Paris, 1997) has been hand signed by the artist in ink on a label affixed to the reverse. Published by Rosenthal and numbered from the edition of 75 in ink on a label affixed on verso.

Vasarely's skill in creating a sense of the three-dimensional through the use of visual effects is apparent in this work with a combination of recessed and protruding geometrical shapes. The feeling of volume and space is highlighted in a superb manner by making the entire porcelain in stunning bold colors. The use of circles, squares, diamonds and triangles transform these basic shapes into an intricate pattern. The total effect of this play on color and shape is visually stunning and impressive in the amount of thought and skill put into the arrangement of design elements.
