What is op-art?
Op-art stands for 'optical art', a style of visual art that emerged in the 1960s. Op-art deals with precise abstract shapes and colorful geometric patterns that stimulate surprising and sometimes confusing optical effects. The impression of movement, flickering, and other optical effects can be triggered in the viewer's vision. Op-art is 'art for all' because no previous knowledge of art, culture or history is needed when viewing the images. Only your own personal perception and what you experience in the here and now is important. Visual illusions can inspire the process of reflective thinking.
