RICHARD ANUSZKIEWICZ (b.1930)

 
Op Art evolved as an alternative trend in painting to the abstract expressionist movement of the 1950s. The genesis of the movement was in the 1960s, when artists such as Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Richard Anuszkiewicz embraced a more structured and geometric approach to their painting, often using visual tricks to create a sense of movement.  While the artistic and spiritual predecessors to OP Art, such as Josef Albers (!888-1976), utilized a softer and more subdued approach, the Op Artists were using bold, large-scale works with variable dimensions to create their visual statement.  <br><br>A student of Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, used enamel and acrylic paint on wood in such a way to create his uncompromising and exact compositions.  A great sense of action can be felt in the present work, "Translumina". The sister piece to "Translumina," "Translumina II" (1986), is in the permanent collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo.

El Op Art evolucionó como una tendencia pictórica alternativa al movimiento expresionista abstracto de la década de 1950. La génesis del movimiento tuvo lugar en la década de 1960, cuando artistas como Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley y Richard Anuszkiewicz adoptaron un enfoque más estructurado y geométrico en su pintura, utilizando a menudo trucos visuales para crear una sensación de movimiento. Mientras que los predecesores artísticos y espirituales del arte OP, como Josef Albers (888-1976), utilizaban un enfoque más suave y tenue, los artistas Op utilizaban obras audaces y de gran escala con dimensiones variables para crear su declaración visual.

Un alumno de Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, utilizaba esmalte y pintura acrílica sobre madera para crear sus composiciones inflexibles y exactas. En la presente obra, "Translumina", se percibe un gran sentido de la acción. La obra hermana de "Translumina", "Translumina II" (1986), se encuentra en la colección permanente de la Albright-Knox Art Gallery de Búfalo.
