Carlos Eduardo Cruz-Diez (Caracas, Venezuela, August 17, 1923-Paris, France, July 27, 2019) was a Venezuelan artist of kinetic art. He lived and worked in Paris from 1960 until his death. Cruz-Diez proposed conceiving color as an autonomous reality that develops in time and space, without the help of form or the need for support. His work encompasses eight investigations: Couleur Additive, Physichromie, Induction Chromatique, Chromointerférence, Transchromie, Chromosaturation, Chromoscope and Couleur a l'Espace.
