Nineteen Greys A (1968) by Bridget Riley is a key example of her early Op Art explorations, focusing on visual rhythm and perception through minimal means. This screenprint features a grid of uniformly spaced elliptical shapes that gradually shift in tone across nineteen variations of grey. Set against a darker grey background, the ellipses appear to pulsate and bend, creating a dynamic optical effect. The piece reflects Riley’s interest in how simple geometric elements, when precisely modulated, can produce movement and vibration within a static field. Produced in an edition of 75, it remains a seminal work in the history of optical abstraction.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
