Oblique (in Hungarian: Ferde) is a collage by Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely from 1966 to 1974.
Its dimensions are 78 x 77 centimeters. The picture is part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary.[1]
The Op art work is a grid of diagonal squares arranged to form a bright green central cross, whose colours fade and darken to black in successive rows away from it, overlaid with a pattern of uniformly dark blue roundels. Clipping of the shapes suggests overlapping layers, whose inferred edges interrupt the symmetry of the shapes with an elusive pattern.[2]
