Details:
Bridget Riley (British, b. 1931)
Bridget Riley is an English painter known for her op art paintings. In 1959, Riley met painter and art educator Maurice de Sausmarez at a residential summer school that he ran with Harry and Diane Thubron. Sausmarez became her friend and mentor, inspiring her to look closer at Futurism and Divisionism and artists such as Klee and Seurat. Riley began to develop her signature Op Art style consisting of black and white geometric patterns that explore the dynamism of sight and produce a disorienting effect on the eye and produces movement and color.
