ABOUT ARTIST YACOV AGAM
Yaacov Agam (b. May 11, 1928 - ) born Yaacov Gibstein is a leading Israeli artist.
Yaacov Agam is an Israeli artist best known for his pioneering of Kinetic Art. Employing light and sound to provide a unique sensorial experience for the viewer, Agam melded formalism and mysticism.
His lenticular prints or Agamographs, make illusory images appear depending on the audience's viewpoint. As a sculptor and experimental artist he is most well known for his influence on optical and kinetic art, both of which stress change and movement. At the beginning of his career Agam created abstract kinetic work, often incorporating light and sound that placed a focus on viewer participation. This strategy of encouraging active involvement from the spectator was still very rare at the time, but this has remained at the core of his practice throughout his career.
Agam began his training in Jerusalem at the Bezalel Academy and studied under the artist Mordecai Ardon. In 1949 he moved to Zurich and then Paris, where he studied with various artists and teachers, including the Bauhaus color theoretician Johannes Itten whose work greatly influenced Agam.
