Illusions

Optical Illusion
An experience of seeming to see something that does not exist or that is other than it appears.
Victor Vasarely
Victor Vasarely is considered as one of the fathers of op-art. Born in 1906, he had a passion for art. Painter Cezanne was his favorite artist, and as he grew older, his talent for art grew as well. At first, he tried to take up a medical career.
Bridget Riley
Fans of op-art consider Bridget Riley to be the mother of op-art, further developing optical art from Victor Vasarely's style and approach. She took this up as her main career until her father had been injured in a car accident. For awhile she was unable to work on art, but in 1958 she took it up again and started using the op-art style to create new things. She was very succesful, and is still alive today.
Richard Allen
Born in 1933, Allen gre up in a rural environment, gaining little knowledge of art. However, at an early age he attempted a few works which failed. As he grew older, he attended the Bath Academy of Art, where he developed his style and skill more. In later years he taught at the Croydon College of Art while creating op-art.
