About the artist:
Anuszkiewicz was born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1930. He received his B.FA. from the Cleveland Institute of Art and in 1953, he was awarded a Pulitzer Travelling Fellowship from the National Academy of Design. He then went on to get his M.F.A. from Yale University where he studied under Josef Albers, the wildly influential color theorist. Alber’s influence on Anuszkiewicz is obvious, in his fascination with color and geometry. Anuszkiewicz also received a Bachelor’s Degree of Science from Kent State University in Ohio.
For a time after that, Anuszkiewicz held a number of odd jobs, including working at Tiffany’s designing miniature silver animals, and at the Met, where he repaired scale models of Greek architecture and sculpture. His career then took off, and he went on to win numerous awards including the Charles of the Ritz Award, the Silvermine Guild award, the Cleveland Arts Prize, the Lee Krasner award, and a number of others. Anuszkiewicz’s work has been featured in over 300 group exhibitions, and he has had more than 100 solo shows in his career.

Richard Anuszkiewicz
“I’m interested,” Richard Anuszkiewicz (1930–2020) once said, “in making something romantic out of a very, very mechanistic geometry.” Anuszkiewicz sought to achieve this romance through works juxtaposing vibrant colors in geometric configurations. The perceptual effects he created helped define the American Op art movement.
Anuszkiewicz studied color theory at Yale under Josef Albers and was greatly influenced by Albers’s approach. “The image in my work has always been determined by what I wanted the color to do,” Anuszkiewicz explained in a 1974 catalogue. “Color function becomes my subject matter, and its performance is my painting.”
He departed from his mentor, however, in the pulsating, illusory qualities he gave his work. One of his most famous paintings, Deep Magenta Square (1978), although similar in composition to Albers’s “Homage to the Square” series, is distinctly Op art in the way the striations surrounding the central square seem to vibrate and jump off the canvas.
Anuszkiewicz spent his entire career exploring optical effects through the manipulation of line and color, producing spectacular and timeless pieces of art. “Working with basic ideas will always be exciting,” he said in 1977. “And if a color or form is visually exciting in any profound sense, it will be that way in 10 or 20 years from now.”
