OP ART

Presented by: Young Mi Lee

What is Op Art?
A visual art movement that employs geometric
shapes, patterns, and colors to create optical
illusions and effects that can trick the viewer's eye.

Artists working in the op art style often use precise,

repetitive patterns and contrasting colors to create
the illusion of movement, vibration, or depth within a
two-dimensional surface.

A form of "action painting" with the action taking

place in the viewer's eye.
Op art emerged in the 1960s as a visual art movement exploring optical
illusions and perception. Influenced by earlier geometric abstraction and
scientific discoveries, artists like Victor Vasarely popularized the style.
The movement gained international attention through exhibitions like
"The Responsive Eye" in 1965. Artists like Bridget Riley and Richard
Anuszkiewicz became prominent figures. Though its initial fervor waned
by the late 1960s, op art's influence persisted in contemporary art.
Today, it remains celebrated for its innovative approach to visual
perception.
