What is it???

2. “Op Art” or Optical 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.
