Maker & History
Op Art, or Optical Art, became one of the defining visual movements of the 1960s. Artists explored repetition, geometry, colour and contrast to create visual effects of movement, vibration and three-dimensional depth. Victor Vasarely was one of the movement's most influential artists, known for complex compositions built from repeated geometric forms and contrasting colours. The central printed image in this artwork strongly reflects that European Op Art vocabulary, while the handmade coloured-paper surround shows how optical and geometric design also influenced popular decorative arts and interiors during the period.

Why we love it

Sourced by Valérie

I love the strong Vasarely-like feel and the unmistakably 1970s colours. What makes it even more interesting is that it is a handmade collage, which gives the piece a more personal and unexpected character.
