About Carlos Cruz-Diez

Carlos Cruz-Diez was a Franco-Venezuelan artist recognized within the kinetic art movement. He lived and worked in Paris from 1960 until his death. Cruz-Diez proposed conceiving color as an autonomous reality that develops in time and space, without the aid of form or the need for a support. His work encompasses eight investigations: Additive Color, Physichromie, Chromatic Induction, Chromointerférence, Transchromie, Chromosaturation, Chromoscope, and Color in Space.
