Optical Art, better known as Op Art, is an abstract style of art that creates an optical illusion. The art movement became popular in the 1960’s by Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely. They used patterns and colors to disorient the viewer. Vasarely is often referred to as the grandfather of the op art movement. In the 1930’s he started out as a graphic designer, after leaving medical school. In he 1940’s he experimented with surrealism and abstract expressionism. The earliest example of op art is “Zebra” (1937).
His goal was to create a universal language through art. This was done through op art, a geometric abstraction.
