Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) is internationally recognised as one of giants of 20th century art. He is the acknowledged leader of the Op art movement, and his innovations in colour and optical illusion, and in the democratisation of art, have had a profound influence on contemporary art and design.

Just to the north of Arles, Provence's chief Roman metropolis, the Rhône river divides into two: to the west the "Petit Rhône" flows down to the "petite Camargue", Aigues Mortes, and les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, and to the east the "Grand Rhône" which embraces the salt works (Salin de Giraud) and the petro-chemical industrial complexes of Port Saint-Louis, Port de Bouc, and Fos sur Mer. Between and around them lies the vast delta of salt marsh known as the Camargue National Park.
