Acrylic on panel. Unique work. Signed and dated to verso ‘Richard Anuszkiewicz 1975’. Soft Gray (1975) by Richard Anuszkiewicz is a unique acrylic on panel measuring 49.8 × 65.7 cm. A leading figure of the Op Art movement, Anuszkiewicz uses precise geometry and subtle shifts in color to create a vibrating sense of depth and optical rhythm. Here, a field of soft gray is punctuated by vertical linear elements that transition from turquoise to deep violet, producing a pulsating visual effect that seems to expand and contract as the eye moves across the surface. The work exemplifies Anuszkiewicz’s exploration of color interaction and perception, turning rigorous abstraction into a meditative yet dynamic experience.

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.
