// Between Green by Günter Fruhtrunk is a 1970 screen-print that exemplifies the artist’s bold approach to geometric abstraction and Op Art. The composition features alternating vertical stripes of vibrant red, green, and black, arranged in varying widths. The contrast between the intense colors and the stark black background creates a rhythmic visual impact, drawing the viewer’s eye along the lines and generating a sense of movement. Fruhtrunk’s work often explores the interaction of color and form to produce optical effects, and this piece is no exception, with the repetition and color contrast giving it an almost pulsating quality. The print invites viewers to experience color as a dynamic force, embodying the principles of kinetic art.

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.
