Green with black squares or black with green squares? It's not the first time the internet dealt with such elaborate dilemmas - remember the 2015 black and blue/white and gold dress conundrum that divided the world? It turns out our brains, while marvellous wonders of nature, are also pretty dumb - recent studies have shown that A.I.'s no different, so maybe there's still hope? Op Art (short for Optical Art) is an art movement that emerged in the 60s. Using stark contrast and abstract shapes with mathematical precision, the works have an illusion of movement and a three-dimensional quality not seen in other art styles. Time magazine coined the term op art in 1964 in response to Julian Stanczak's show Optical Paintings, one of several artists that were turning a newfound interest in technology and psychology into an art movement. ​From spinning circles to disappearing dots, reality has since never been the same, and our heads still hurt 🤕 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Hilma af Klint Created: 1907 Dimensions (cm): 315 x 235 Format: Tempera on paper mounted on canvas Location: The Hilma af Klint Foundation, Stockholm “No. 7, Adulthood” is part of “The Ten Largest” series of the “Paintings for the Temple”, where each number represents a stage of development in one’s life from childhood to adulthood. Although often perceived as “another” abstract painting, these groundbreaking artworks were developed in the early years of the 20th century, before Kandinsky and Mondrian. This is a composition of swirling shapes, different from any physical reference, portrayed in soft yet bold pastel colors against a lilac background punctuated with lines, that invites you to step in and float away. Believing to be ahead of her time, Klint requested that they'd only be shown in public 20 years after her death. In 1986, 40 years after her death, they were finally presented to the world. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky Created: 1923 Dimensions (cm): 98.7 x 95.6 Format: Oil on canvas Location: Philadelphia Museum of Art In Circles in a Circle, Kandinsky combines geometric forms and subtle colour harmonies to create a sparkling, abstract composition. Like much of this revolutionary artist's work, the modern feel of the painting makes it hard to believe it was completed as early as 1923. Designed in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In an entry for a 1950 collection catalogue of the Société Anonyme, the artist Marcel Duchamp wrote: “In tracing his lines with ruler and compass, Kandinsky opened to the spectator a new way of looking at painting . . . a clear transfer of thought on canvas. This has been the real contribution of Kandinsky towards a conception of esthetics.” These laudatory words easily apply to Circles in a Circle, in which geometric forms and subtle colour harmonies combine to make an effervescent, abstract composition. Through the Société Anonyme, an art organization led by American collector Katherine Dreier and designed to generate awareness of modern art, Duchamp helped to secure Kandinsky’s first solo exhibition in this country. - Philadelphia Museum of Art 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.
