After quite a few studies I finally settled on this compostion of a woman enjoying a painting by Victor Vasarely.
He was a French-Hungarian artist credited as the father of the Op Art movement, short for Optical Art. Utilizing geometric shapes and colorful graphics, the artist created compelling illusions of spatial depth, as seen in this work my figure is enjoying in a museum.
Painting Op Art is quite an experience. The checker board kept dancing before my eyes and I had to take regular breaks to rub my eyes a bit! I like how the painting is almost entirely black and white with just a few dashes of color here and there on the figure.
