Optical Art Revisited: Selections From the Albright April 7, 2007

Optical Art refers to the work of a growing group of abstract painters in the early '60s who utilized parallel lines, concentric circles and electric colors to create works of art that result in visual effects, such as afterimages. The exhibition will feature selection of paintings and sculptures from artists central to the op movement, such as Josef Albers, Richard Anuskiewicz, Bridget Riley, Julian Stanczak, and Victor Vasarely. In addition, more recent works by contemporary artists Tim Bavington and Susie Rosmarin will also be on view to exemplify a resurgence of interest in art and perceptual phenomena.
