Op Art, short for Optical Art, is a type of art that emerged in the 1960s and is characterized by its use of optical illusions and geometric patterns to create a sense of movement and depth. It is a highly captivating form of visual art that plays with the viewer’s perception and challenges their understanding of reality. The origins of Op Art can be traced back to the Bauhaus movement in Germany, where artists such as Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky experimented with the relationship between color and form.
