white polyvinyl tape on painted panel in a box of the artist. Year ca. 1963–1971. Published: N. Leblanc, D. Everarts de Velp-Seynaeve, Walter Leblanc, Catalogue raisonné, Bruxelles, 1997, No. 564, p. 201. // PF 657 by Walter Leblanc, created around 1963–1971, is a mixed media artwork featuring white polyvinyl tape meticulously arranged on a painted panel. This piece exemplifies Leblanc's commitment to kinetic and optical art, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic, pulsating visual effect. The arrangement of the white strips forms a series of narrow, elongated diamond shapes that appear to shift as the viewer changes perspective. By using simple materials and a monochromatic palette, Leblanc achieves a sense of movement and depth, challenging perceptions of space and form. This work invites viewers to engage with its optical illusion, exploring how minimalistic elements can produce complex, engaging visual experiences.

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.
