Physichromie 573

1971

As the spectator or the light source moves, a series of chromatic variations is created within the work, similar to that observed in the real space of a landscape.


Carlos Cruz-Diez developed the principle of Physichromies in 1959; he worked on this series all his life. The works act like "light traps", in a space where different colour patterns interact, generating new colour ranges that do not exist on the surface. The colour invades the space contained between the vertical lines that are present throughout the work and that modulate the light.
