Student's Art Work

Picasso's Cubism was influenced by the artist Ce'zenne, whi "in searching for basic expressive forms. . .largely disregarded surface appearance and transformed familiar shapes; in building his images he ignored the traditional values of sentiment and beauty" (Robb, David M. and Garrison J.J., Art in the Western World. Harper and Row: New York, 1963, P. 611).

OP ART

OP ART

·    In October of 1964, in an article describing this new style of art, Time Magazine coined the phrase "Optical Art"

·   Op Art is comprised of illusion, and often appears - to the human eye - to be moving or breathing due to its precise, mathematically-based composition.

·   Because of its geometrically-based nature, Op Art is, almost without exception, non-representational.

·   The elements employed (color, line and shape) are carefully chosen to achieve maximum effect.

·   The critical techniques used in Op Art are perspective and careful juxtaposition of color (whether chromatic [identifiable hues] or achromatic [black, white or gray]).

·   In Op Art, as in perhaps no other artistic school, positive and negative spaces in a composition are of equal importance. Op Art could not be created without both.
