Note du spécialiste

‘Curiously, the hexagon didn’t take long to become a cube, but a perspective, unstable cube […]. In actual fact, it can be split into three identical rhomboids. It is sufficient to color these identical rhomboids and the cube is born, multiplies and creates a new cellular plot. This research converges into the Tri-Dim compositions with the addition of an old acquaintance to Kepler’s cube: the axonometric cube.’ VICTOR VASARELY
