They are very much of their time and even though they are relatively recent (around 50 years or less) the world <i>was</i> different then!<br />The artist was inspired by nature and the emotional use of colour intending to making the viewer 'feel' as much as 'see'.bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-47869228591772643192016-08-29T08:25:54.329+01:002016-08-29T08:25:54.329+01:00Sounds interesting artist to create all these.

I hadn't heard of this artist before...Hi bazza,<br />I hadn't heard of this artist before, but had heard of pointillism (Seurat) and of course Pollock. I find the paintings a little lacking in a bit of human passion, a bit antiseptic almost, if that's an appropriate adjective. The photograph of Bridget Riley, however, is full of life!<br />Strangely enough, I had heard, in my journey through mental health, that those who can see only one version of the faces/candlestick picture are often prone to schizophrenic illness. I don't know whether this is some kind of myth, but like John, I always see the faces before the candlestick! Maybe you were right to tell him to see a psychiatrist!<br />Very Best Wishes,<br />David.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115443256449529220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-37729363425779187262016-08-28T15:05:48.186+01:002016-08-28T15:05:48.186+01:00Hi John.

I think that Op Art is clearly descended from Abstract Expressionism. Most art movements are a reaction to what when before and, even if 'opposed' to the previous style often refers to it.bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-3663332656589544942016-08-28T06:14:11.233+01:002016-08-28T06:14:11.233+01:00Riley was focused on optical magic, colour and sha...Riley was focused on optical magic, colour and shape. What a clever artist she was, and spot on for her time!<br /><br />I have no problem with Seurat, but I would think carefully about Pollack as an inspiration.
