The Eye 1967

"The Eye" (1967) by French artist Martial Raysse is a striking example of Pop Art. The painting features a bold, graphic silhouette of an eye rendered in black against a vibrant cobalt blue background. The use of flat, simplified forms and vivid colors is characteristic of the Pop Art movement, which emerged in the 1960s and sought to challenge traditional artistic conventions by incorporating imagery from popular culture. Raysse's work often explored themes of the body, sexuality, and consumerism, making "The Eye" an intriguing and provocative work that continues to fascinate viewers today.
