The authors analyze Victor Vasarely's works from the viewpoints of the theory of visual perception, mathematics and modularity. The chapter concludes that almost all construction methods, modular elements, optical effects and visual illusions belonging to these fields were (re)discovered by Vasarely, mostly by intuition, creative visual thinking and experimenting, and then used in his artworks.
