Bauhaus

A retrospective exhibition by Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely began on Feb. 2 in Istanbul's Tophane-i Amire Culture and Arts Center with the contributions of Arkas Holding. 

Vasarely is renowned as the "grandfather" and leader of the op art movement, a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. 

One of the most emblematic buildings in the Greek capital, the Athens Conservatory is the most representative example of the architectural oeuvre of Ioannis Despotopoulos, the only Greek to have studied under Bauhaus school founder Walter Gropius.
