Завдання ІІ. Read the text and choose the proper variant.
OP ART
Op art is one of the most interesting styles of modern art. Despite its apparent simplicity, it is a sophisticated facet which seems to capture the very essence of industry’s constantly moving mechanisms. Op art pictures contain inherently dynamic yet illusive qualities which are real one moment and unreal the next.
Op art, an abbreviation for Optical Art, is a term applied to a movement of art which reached its peak of popularity in the years 1965 to 1970. The fascinating and sometimes dazzling effects produced by these paintings and graphics result from the basic idea that the eye’s greatest challenge is itself. Advances in many fields such as science, philosophy, and psychology contributed to the emergence of op art as a movement. In the 18th and 19th centuries much work was done on how people think, see and understand – resulting in many theories of modern psychology and philosophy; thus, having influenced the visual arts, culminating in op art.
Much op art relies upon the scanning movement of the eye over the picture surface, giving its patterns the appearance of constant movement. This movement can be accelerated and distributed by making up the surface design from a large number of slightly varied small shapes or lines. When this is carried out effectively, the brain offers a number of different solutions simultaneously.
This form of visual expression contrasts sharply with much of the fine art preceding it, since it is characterized by hallucinations of visual movement. These hallucinations are created deliberately when the artist juxtaposes lines and shapes in sharply contrasting tones, so that the resulting images seem to be mysterious and perplexing to our eyes and brains. When the viewer observes optical drawings or paintings, he reacts. The viewer either likes op art, or he dislikes it. He is not allowed to be impartial.
