Op art - Optical art

 

Op art, short for "optical art," is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s and is characterized by the use of optical illusions and visual effects to create artworks that appear to vibrate, shimmer, or give the illusion of movement when viewed. Op art often employs precise geometric patterns, contrasting colors, and repetitive shapes to achieve these visual effects. It challenges the viewer's perception and creates a sense of optical ambiguity. Op art is known for its dynamic and visually engaging compositions, and it explores the relationship between art, perception, and the viewer's experience.
