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 Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
