Research; Op-Art

Bridget Riley is my focal artist for this project, but I thought I'd have a look at some other artists that create op-art pieces just to see the differences.

'Horizontal Movement' 1963

"As the spectator passes this work, an optical affect causes the background of black and white lines to vibrate and flicker. Soto described Horizontal Movement as 'one of the first truly mobile works that I had made', referring to the addition of an iron rod that hangs in front of the lines. As in all his works the background lines are drawn by hand." http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/soto-horizontal-movement-t00649
