Movement in Squares 1961

"Movement in Squares" is an abstract painting by Bridget Riley, one of the most prominent figures of the Op Art movement. Created in 1961, Riley's work utilizes the illusion of movement through geometric shapes and color contrast, playing with the viewer's perception of space and form. The black and white squares create a dynamic visual effect, drawing the eye across the canvas, causing a sense of movement and depth. This piece exemplifies Riley's exploration of optical illusions, which gained popularity in the 1960s.
