Optical Art / Op Art [encyclopedia] Optical Art is generally characterized by hard-edged black and white patterns or geometric shapes which use repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, moiré patterns, an exaggerated sense of depth, foreground-background confusion, impressions of movement, flashing and vibration, or alternatively of swelling or warping. Optical art, or Op art as it is better known, is an abbreviation for Optical Art, a modern art movement that developed in the United States and Europe in the mid-1960s. Op art paintings exploit the fallibility of the eye through the use of optical illusions induced by abstract spiral or wavy patterns, stripes, spots, etc. Hungarian-born French painter Victor Vasarely (1908-) and British painter Bridget Riley (1931-) were leading exponents. eluzions.com /Illusions/Art/Optical   (540 words)

Robert Irwin Essay Irwin's work in Beacon lay across the borders of a number of different roles—landscape designer, architect, aesthetic philosopher—in a manner completely consistent with his practice as an artist, in which, among other things, he has questioned exactly where the boundaries lie around the role of the artist today. Irwin's early development moves along a similarly reductive trajectory, from Abstract Expressionist painting in the late 1950s, to more rigorously optical hand-painted line and dot paintings, to metal and plastic circular discs and prismatic columns that nearly dissolve visually at the same time that they channel and shape the light and space around them. The work of the artist might then be defined as a process of investigation subject to a particular set of circumstances (a place, an invitation to work, a problem to solve) that may or may not result in a thing called artwork. www.diacenter.org /exhibs_b/irwin/essay.html   (1131 words)
