When I was a teenager Agam and Vasarely were huge. I think the color and geometric compositions can be credited with the accessibility of their work to a mass audience. I remember seeing prints by both artists in mall galleries and originals in some Michigan Avenue galleries in downtown Chicago.

I appreciate this stuff more today, both artists work had a sense of the future, I was a Star Wars kid and I was all about the future in the 70′s.

I enjoy these images for what they do to my brain, my eye seems to activate the paintings into a state of animation.

I am also attracted to this work because it is not explicitly built on the pile of art history that is constantly attributed as influence by painters. The artists that we worship today became our art idols by burning down convention not conforming to it.
