Op Art

Optical Art is a mathematically-themed form of Abstract art,


which uses repetition of simple shapes and colors to create
vibrating effects, foreground-background confusion, an
exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects
In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe the
work of a growing group of abstract painters. This movement
was led by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley.

the opposite direction when observers see this image keeping blinking.
