	Optical Art
		Optical Art is a mathematically-themed form of Abstract art, which uses repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, moiré patterns, foreground-background confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects.
		With Optical Art, the rules that the viewer's eye uses to try to make sense of a visual image are themselves the "subject" of the artwork.
		In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe the work of a growing group of abstract painters.

	ART ON THE EDGE: 17 Contemporary American Artists
		As he put it in his landmark essay "Modernist Painting" from 1960, "visual art should confine itself exclusively to what is given in visual experience, and make no reference to anything given in any other order of experience." In fact, it was more than an explanation; it was a command.
		For the artists on these pages, it is unlikely that the lessons of art history or of their own craft have had any greater influence on them than the last 30 years of film and TV.
		On the flood plain of art today, diversity is an expression of an infinitely horizontal momentum-an equality in all things, a mobility that holds invention dearer than history.

	Weatherspoon Art Museum - UNC Greensboro
		Whereas traditional approaches to art making did not disappear, new generations of artists rejected the emphasis on the self-contained art object in favor of happenings, performance, video and film.
		This particular piece carries a number of potent references: fertility and transformation; the relationship between nature and culture as well as between natural and found materials; the use of bottles to ward off evil spirits (a very Southern idea); and even the suggestion that the bottles may be some kind of elaborate mechanism for hair-processing.
		By combining visual echoes of classical art with the eclectic use of materials common in contemporary art, Saar brings fresh meaning to the timeless subject of woman as recumbent Venus or goddess.

		The liberal arts (artes liberales, the higher arts, which, among the Romans, only freemen were permitted to pursue) were, in the Middle Ages, these seven branches of learning, -- grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy.
		And, therefore, science and art may be said to be investigations of truth; but one, science, inquires for the sake of knowledge; the other, art, for the sake of production; and hence science is more concerned with the higher truths, art with the lower; and science never is engaged, as art is, in productive application.

	Minimalism Art - Artists, Artworks and Biographies
		Minimalist art strived to create an object with presence, something that can be seen at its basic physical appearance and appreciated at face value.
		Rather, the artists believed that the viewer’s personal reaction to the object was of higher importance, and thus strove to eliminate the presence of the creator in their work.
		Although some deemed Minimalist art to be unapproachable and barren, others saw the revolutionary concept of pure aestheticism and the strong affect that Minimalist theory had on post-modern art.
