Vasarely, the Hungarian Op-Art masterpieces in Aix-en-Provence

The work of  Victor Vasarely has played a role in my whole life. As a child I just wondered the amazing shapes and colors hanging on the wall, after that as I understood the meaning of this form play I began to admire the master of Op-Art. I already visited the Hungarian Vasarely Museums, but this time I had the chance to see this masterpieces in "live size". The Fondation Vasarely in Aix-en-Provence was planed by Vasarely himself and he decided to give a honeycomb shape to every single room, so there are 6 walls with 6 works in each room. This kind of paintings really need space so you can actually fell the 3D effects, the colorplay and the "moving" paintings. As I am a really big fan of him, I just felt myself so powerful after seeing all of this. I hope the photos can explain why.

Roussillon, the village made of ochre

Roussillon was the most amazing experiences during our trip in Provence. This village was an important place for mining of ochre, which is a yellow, red, brown and sometimes purple colored natural earth pigment. There is the famous ochre path, where you can see all of this colors.
The village on the hill is really picturesque and inspiring, and the were a lot of Japaneses and French artists, who painted the view and the rich colors of ochre. I loved the tones, the pastels and the whole atmosphere, I hope you enjoy the photos too.
