Op Art Dot Pattern

This series of journal covers feature "op art" which is short for Optical Art. The Op art movement was driven by artists who were interested in investigating various perceptual effects. The style we now know as Op emerged from the work of  Victor Vasarely, who first explored unusual perceptual effects in some designs from the 1930s. The pinnacle of the movement's success was 1965. Notable artists in this movement include Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, Frank Stella, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesus Rafael Soto, and Josef Albers. Although the movement lost popularity by 1968, the systematic optical effects continue to be explored in visual art and architecture.

This unique style of art was embraced by many and also dismissed by many. Although it has lost popularity, I still find this style intriguing and visually cool. It's not for everyone but I hope you will enjoy these patterns.
