Op art. Op art, also known as optical art, is a style of visual art that makes use of optical illusions.[1] 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 vibrations, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping. Historical context[edit] Francis Picabia, c. 1921-22, Optophone I, encre, aquarelle et mine de plomb sur papier, 72 x 60 cm.
Reproduced in Galeries Dalmau, Picabia, exhibition catalogue, Barcelona, November 18 - December 8, 1922 "Op Art (a term coined in 1964 by Time magazine) is a form of abstract art (specifically non-objective art) which relies on optical illusions in order to fool the eye of the viewer. " [3] Op art also stems from Trompe-l'œil and Anamorphosis. Some members of the group Nouvelle tendance (1961-1965) in Europe also were engaged in Op art as Almir Mavignier and Gerhard von Graevenitz, mainly with their serigraphics.
Color[edit] Mputer Arts - Creating generative art with Flash. Suprematism. Suprematism (Russian: Супремати́зм) was an art movement, focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. It was founded by Kazimir Malevich in Russia, around 1913, and announced in Malevich's 1915 exhibition in St. Petersburg where he exhibited 36 works in a similar style.[1] The term suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon “the supremacy of pure artistic feeling” rather than on visual depiction of objects.[2] Birth of Suprematism[edit] Kasimir Malevich originated Suprematism when he was an established painter having exhibited in the Donkey's Tail and the Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibitions of 1912 with cubo-futurist works.
The proliferation of new artistic forms in painting, poetry and theatre as well as a revival of interest in the traditional folk art of Russia provided a rich environment in which a Modernist culture was born. Distinct from Constructivism[edit] Influences on the movement[edit] Kazimir Malevich. Kazimir Severinovich Malevich[nb 1] (23 February 1879 – 15 May 1935) was a Russian painter and art theoretician.[1] He was a pioneer of geometric abstract art and the originator of the avant-garde, Suprematist movement.[2][3][4] Early life[edit] Kazimir Malevich was born Kazimierz Malewicz to a Polish family,[5][6] who settled near Kiev in the Kiev Governorate of the Russian Empire (former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, today Ukraine) during the partitions of Poland.[7] His parents, Ludwika and Seweryn Malewicz, were Roman Catholic like most ethnic Poles.[8] They both had fled from the former eastern territories of the Commonwealth (present-day Kopyl Region of Belarus) to Kiev in the aftermath of the failed Polish January Uprising of 1863 against the tsarist army.[9] His native languages were Russian and Polish.[10] Kazimir's father managed a sugar factory.
Kazimir was the first of fourteen children,[7] only nine of whom survived into adulthood. Later career[edit] Suprematism[edit] Vasarely. Julije knifer. Julio Le Parc.
