The artwork, titled “Black and White,” was created by Carmen Herrera in 1952. It is an abstract piece that is part of the Op Art movement, which is known for its use of optical illusions and visual effects.
The artwork features an intricate pattern of black and white stripes arranged in a diamond shape. The design is symmetrical, with the stripes converging toward the center, creating a sense of depth and movement. The contrast between the black and white stripes enhances the visual impact, making the viewer perceive various geometric illusions. The precision of the lines and the stark color contrast showcase the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and mastery of the abstract genre.
