Artist of the day, August 24, 2020: Carlos Cruz-Diez, a Venezuelan artist (#1075)

 Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923 – 2019) was a French-Venezuelan artist who lived and worked in Paris since 1960. A major protagonist and member of the Op Art movement whose work focuses on the kinetic energy of coloring the field of Kinetic and Optical Art, a movement that encourages “an awareness of the instability of reality”. His body of work established him as one of the key 20th century thinkers in the realm of color.

Carlos Cruz-Diez’s visual art explores the perception of color as an autonomous reality evolving in space and time, unaided by form or support, in a perpetual present.His work is based on the moiré effect, in which lines of contrasting color give the impression of movement, best exemplified in his Physiochrome series. For a time, he taught kinetic technique at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and later work as the director of art for the Institute for Advanced Studies in Caracas. In 1997, his home city honored the artist when they opened the Carlos Cruz-Diez Print and Design Museum. In 2002, he was awarded by France the medal for Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
