Questions About Black And White Figures

    The difference between black-figure and red-figure Greek pottery is that in black-figure pottery, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing and the background was color of the clay, whereas the decorative motifs on red-figure vases remained the color of the clay; the background, filled in with a slip, turned black. Red-figure is essentially the reverse of a black figure. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique Greek pottery.

    The artist known for the black-and-white optical illusion art called Movement in Squares is Bridget Riley. Riley states that she draws inspiration for her spectacular abstractions expressed in paintings and prints largely from nature, which she defines as a “dynamism of visual forces — an event rather than an appearance.” The British artist produced her iconic piece, Movement in Squares, in 1961. Find a wide range of Bridget Riley art on 1stDibs.
