Who is a famous perception artist?

1 Answer
Who is a famous perception artist?
One famous perception artist is Victor Vasarely. He is widely considered the grandfather of Op art, the term most often used to describe perception art. Decades after Vasarely created early examples of this work, the Op art movement emerged in the 1960s, mirroring the counterculture of the time in its embrace of visual trickery, graphic shapes and bright colors. Some notable Op artists include Josef Albers, Bridget Riley and Jesús Rafael Soto. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Op art.
