What is art that looks 3D called?

Art that looks 3D is called Op art. 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. Spreading across Europe and the Americas, the style — short for “optical art” — influenced advertising, fashion and interior design before fading in the early ’70s. Op art remained significant, however, for artists and scientists interested in the nature of perception. And today, it’s seeing a resurgence of interest from collectors and interior designers. Some notable artists who created Op art include Victor Vasarely, Josef Albers, Bridget Riley and Jesús Rafael Soto. Find a diverse assortment of Op art on 1stDibs.
