Long overdue inclusion of French/Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely (1906-1997). Credited as the author of the Op-Art movement, Vasarely built his aesthetic from a range of influences, including Bauhaus design, Wassily Kandinsky, Constructivism, and his employment in graphic design. After experimenting with Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, Vasarely went on to create the work he became best known for, called “Gordes.” Pictured here from that series: “HAT-VI” (1971), oil on board; “Rikka” (1988), screenprint on paper; and “Phönix” (1988), mixed media on cardboard.

Tiled floor (black and red flamed marble), Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium. An 89-metre tall Gothic cathedral built on the site of the former Chapel of St. John the Baptist in 942 AD. The chapel was expanded in the Romanesque style in 1038. Continued Gothic expansions were built throughout the 14th through 16th centuries, but the building was considered complete by 1569. The floor could date from those late expansions, though it’s possible it was installed during the Baroque period, between 1702-1782, during the installation of the high alter. More information welcome!
