Detailed Description

Optical art, also known as Op art, is a style of visual art that uses geometric shapes, patterns, and colors to create the illusion of movement, shape, and form. Op art is often associated with the 1960s, but the style actually has its roots in the early 20th century. Some of the most famous optical artists include Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Frank Stella. One of the most famous optical art paintings is Vasarely’s “Zebra” (1938), which is composed of black and white stripes that appear to move and undulate when viewed from a distance. Op art is often used to create optical illusions, such as the appearance of movement or three-dimensional space. However, it can also be used to create more subtle effects, such as a sense of depth or texture. Whether used to create an illusion or simply to add visual interest, optical art is a fascinating and visually arresting style of art.
