By introducing an illusion of movement, Poons reconsiders the tradition of colorfield painting, one of the dominant styles in American art since the mid 1940s. Thus, Poons’ work is an early example of “Op Art.” Sunnyside Switch, Larry Poons, 1963. If a viewer stares intensely at the picture surface, focusing on one of the dots for 15 to 20 seconds, the cones — light and color receptors in the retina — of the eye overstimulate and remain stimulated for a short period, even after the viewer ceases looking at the dot. Thus, the cones continue to send image impulses to the brain (though in a ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/poons.html · 12.9k |

Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Un dimanche après-midi à l’Ile de la Grande Jatte), Georges Seurat, 1884-1886. Let us look at the painting Un Dimanche a la Grande Jatte.

Interestingly, there are several cases where a painting’s colors are quite abnormal, but the luminance is correct. Our Where system sees the paintings clearly, but our What system is confused by the coloring. Self-Portrait, Pablo Picasso, 1901. Here, Picasso presents himself as a romantic, bohemian figure — a moody young artist who fixes the viewer with a hypnotic stare. In Picasso’s “Blue Period” (1901-1904), his blue paintings portray destitute human beings. Blue was chosen deliberately — deep and cold, signifying misery and despair — to intensify the hopelessness of the ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/mood.html · 9.0k |

Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) is best remembered for his intimate Parisian interiors of the 1890’s and his paintings of the Parisian Belle Epoque (1880-1914), a period of intellectual and artistic refinement. Vuillard was a member of the Nabi group, formed in 1889 with the artists Paul Sérusier (1864-1927), Maurice Denis (1870-1943) and Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947). The group combines painting with decorative art and is inspired by literary symbolism, exoticism and orientalism. According to the Nabi artists, every emotion has “a plastic, decorative equivalent” that corresponds our sense of beauty — an idea that contrasted the dominant ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/vuillard.html · 10.3k |

She wrote, “The uncertainties of a drawn structure increase when it is composed of similar, repeated elements. Because they are small and compacted, these elements begin to fuse while they are easy to separate when they are big.” Bridget Riley (1931) is a well-known British artist celebrated since the mid-1960s for her distinctive, optically vibrant paintings, called “Op Art.” She explores optical phenomena and juxtaposes color either by using a chromatic technique of identifiable hues or by selecting achromatic colors (black, white or gray). In doing so, her work appears to flicker, pulsate and move, encouraging the viewer’s visual ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/riley.html · 9.1k |

Like Lambie, the Paris-based Jegori Koski of Finnish origins (1947) associates his work with music. Unlike Lambie, who is interested in psychedelic pop and rock, Koski listens to Richard Strauss, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Wagner while painting, and his works can be interpreted as the visualizations of musical rhythm. Koski’s art demonstrates how simple changes in the combinations of color and geometric form have a dramatic impact. Compare and contrast Koski’s Sequence No. 26 (2005) and Sequence No. 11 (2003).

Signac soon adopts the Divisionist style of painting, becoming its most ardent publicist. He is also the most articulate member of the group, publishing the book, From Delacroix to Neo-Impressionism. Today, the book is regarded perhaps more as a manifesto in defense of the movement than an entirely accurate description of the Divisionist methods. Signac advocates the banishing of “muddy mixtures” (usually the result of pre-mixing colors) in favor of ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/neo.html · 13.4k |

Born in Holland in 1878, Piet Mondrian painted traditional subjects in an increasingly abstract style. By 1920, he adopts a totally abstract motif, employing an irregular checkerboard drawn with black lines, and with the spaces paints mostly white or sometimes in the primary colors of blue, red and yellow. This is typical of about 250 abstract paintings dating from 1917 to 1944. Mondrian named his style “neoplasticism,” his translation of his own Dutch phrase nieuwe beelding, which ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/mondrian2.html · 9.1k |
