Op Art

Op Art
Optical Art is a mathematically-theme form of Abstract
art, which uses repetition of simple shapes and colors to
create vibrating effects, foreground-background
confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other
visual effects.
In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was to describe the work
of a growing group of abstract painters. This movement
was led by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley.
