"Song of Orpheus IV" is a 1978 painting by British artist Bridget Riley, known for her contributions to Op Art. The work features a repetitive pattern of undulating lines in shades of green and yellow. These lines, with their subtle changes in color and shape, create an illusion of movement and depth, engaging the viewer in a visual experience that explores the interplay of light and form. Riley's signature style, evident in this work, is characterized by the use of geometric patterns and bold colors to produce dynamic, often hypnotic effects.
