Op Art
Op Art, short for Optical Art, is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s.
It is characterized by the use of optical illusions, geometric patterns, and precise arrangements of colors and shapes to create artworks that appear to vibrate, move or deceive the viewer's perception. Op Art aims to engage the viewer's visual perception and create dynamic, visually stimulating compositions that challenge traditional notions of two-dimensional art.
