Yvaral (1934-2002), also known as Jean-Pierre Vasarely, was a French artist best known for his works of Op Art, Kinetic Art, and Numerical Art. 

In 1975, Yvaral coined the term ‘Numerical Art’ to describe artworks that were composed according to numerical algorithms and rules. To breath life into this term, Yvaral would program computers to manipulate his works according to the numerical rules/algorithms. This process would render images, even widely recognizable ones (i.e. Marilyn Monroe’s face), into abstract compositions.

Marilyn Monroe’s Op Art portraits by Yvaral are arguably his most distinguished and best-known works. He created several variations using Monroe’s famed visage, each based on different patterns and digital manipulations.
