His works were often used bold, geometric patterns to create “vibrating texture surfaces.” While his surfaces were flat and static they appeared to move because of the color relationships or contrasts. Due to the graphic nature of Vasarely’s work, he produced a number of bold screenprints. The prints are extremely colorful and bright.

By 1970, Vasarely opened a museum to house hundreds of his works. The museum eventually closed but a few years later the Foundation Vasarely opened in Aix en Provence. Another museum opened in Vasarely’s hometown, Pécs, in Hungary. Vasarely lived and worked in Paris until his death in 1997.
