Yaacov Agam, Underseascape
Yaacov Agam (b. May 11, 1928), born Yaacov Gibstein, has been and continues to be a leading Israeli artist known for his influence on optical and kinetic art. In 1964 Agam wrote his artistic credo, unchanged since then:
“My intention was to create a work of art which would transcend the visible, which cannot be perceived except in stages, with the understanding that it is a partial revelation and not the perpetuation of the existing. My aim is to show what can be seen within the limits of possibility which exists in the midst of coming into being.”
