Aix-en-Provence - Fondation Vasarély

The Vasarély Foundation lies in Avenue Marcel Pagnol, in the Jas de Bouffan district in the west of Aix-en-Provence. In this modern and unconventionally styled building, some 87m/286ft in length, visitors can see 42 huge wall-paintings - "integrations murales" - as well as some 800 studies by the Hungaro-French artist Victor Vasarély (b. 1908), the main advocate of the Abstract Constructivist school of painting and of Op Art.
