Overview of Optical Art Movement

Optical art, also known as op art, uses optical illusions created by geometric patterns and arrangements to trick the eye into seeing movement. The movement started in 1964 with artists like Bridget Riley, Richard Anuszkiewicz, and Victor Vasarely, who is considered the grandfather of optical art. These artists are known for works that use complimentary colors and shapes in dramatic compositions to affect lighting and sometimes cause dizziness in viewers.
