RICHARD ANUSZKIEWICZ (né en 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.

L'Op Art s'est développé comme une tendance alternative au mouvement expressionniste abstrait des années 1950. La genèse du mouvement remonte aux années 1960, lorsque des artistes tels que Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley et Richard Anuszkiewicz ont adopté une approche plus structurée et géométrique de la peinture, utilisant souvent des astuces visuelles pour créer un sentiment de mouvement. Alors que les prédécesseurs artistiques et spirituels de l'OP Art, tels que Josef Albers (!888-1976), utilisaient une approche plus douce et plus discrète, les Op Artists utilisaient des œuvres audacieuses, à grande échelle et de dimensions variables pour créer leur déclaration visuelle.

Un élève d'Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, a utilisé l'émail et la peinture acrylique sur du bois de manière à créer ses compositions exactes et sans compromis. On peut ressentir un grand sens de l'action dans l'œuvre actuelle, "Translumina". La pièce sœur de "Translumina", "Translumina II" (1986), fait partie de la collection permanente de la Albright-Knox Art Gallery, à Buffalo.
