Op Art

• The term Op Art refers to Optical Art.
• Op Art originated in the 1960's. It was first
  called kinetic art (art which moves) because
  some of the art actually moved or appeared to
  move because of the way the designs play tricks
  on our vision.
• The visual effects use color and patterns that
  disturb the eye and cause it to see images or
  movement on a flat surface.
• Victor Vasarely is considered the father of Op
  Art. Vasarely explored visual illusions, and
  combined geometric elements with color and value
  to result in optical illusions.
• One of the most effective Op Art illusionists is
  Bridget Riley. Her work includes black and white
  linear work which makes her pictures appear to
  wave.
