Op Art

Japanese: オップ･アート（英語表記）Op Art
Op Art
"Op" comes from optic or optical, which means "optical" or "visual." Since the exhibition "The Responsive Eye" (organized by WG Seitz) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965, the term has come to be used in comparison with "Pop Art." Broadly speaking, it is an extension of constructivism and geometric abstract painting, but it refers to a trend that emerged in the 1960s with Albers and Vasarely as its pioneers.

Japanese:
〈オップ〉とは〈光学的〉あるいは〈視覚的〉を意味するopticないしopticalに由来する。1965年ニューヨーク近代美術館における〈応答する眼The Responsive Eye〉展(サイツW.G.Seitz企画)以降，〈ポップ･アート〉になぞらえて使われるようになった語。広くみれば構成主義や幾何学的抽象絵画の流れの延長上に位置づけられるが，アルバースやバザレリーを先達として1960年代に現れた動向を指す。
