Op art, also known as optical art, is a style of visual art that makes use of optical illusions.
"Optical art is a method of painting concerning the interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing." Op art works are abstract, with many of the better known pieces made in black and white. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping. – Wikipedia.org
In addition in Victor Vasarely (see art example below), other Op Art artists are Josef Albers, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Bridget Riley, Richard Anuszkiewicz, François Morellet and Jesús-Rafael Soto.
