About this person
Wilfred was not fond of the term "color organ", and coined the word "Clavilux" from Latin meaning "light played by key". His innovative, mobile works prefigured the kinetic and op art movement and the advent of light art in America, and influenced subsequent generations of visual artists, including James Turrell.
