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 |

Since 1999, the Glasgow-based artist Jim Lambie (1964) has used glossy tape in varying colors to build floor installations such as Touch Zobop (2003). The vinyl tape, an everyday material applied in continuous lines, has a capacity to transform the dynamics of space, changing a quiet gallery space into an energetic and emotional space of sensory pleasure. Lambie creates a rhythm that vibrates and pulsates, and even confuses and disorients the spectator. According to Lambie: “For me something like Zobop, the floor piece, it is creating so many edges that they all dissolve. Is the room ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/lambie.html · 8.1k |

This interdisciplinary study combines the neurobiology of vision and art history. The exhibit focuses on the eye and its response to color interactions and contrasts, luminance and equluminance, and peripheral vision, in reference to artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Bridget Riley and Jim Lambie. ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/teaching.html · 7.9k |

In 1896, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) sees Monet’s “Haystacks” in a touring exhibition in St. Petersburg. Monet’s paintings have a great impact on Kandinsky’s artistic development towards abstraction. According to Kandinsky: “The painting showed itself to me in all its fantasy and all its enchantment. Deep within me the first doubt arose about the importance of the object as a necessary element in a picture.” Instead of referring to the outer world, Kandinsky’s objects ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/fh.html · 8.7k |

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 |
