The artwork titled “Dos Cuadritos” by Jesus Rafael Soto, a prominent figure in the Op Art movement, belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork features two squares set against a backdrop of vertical black and white stripes. One square is solid black, while the other is a solid blue. The squares appear to be slightly hovering above the striped background, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The linear repetition of the stripes, juxtaposed with the flat, solid colors of the squares, produces an optical illusion that challenges the viewer’s perception and evokes a dynamic visual experience. The arrangement demonstrates Soto’s exploration of movement and the interplay between color and form within the framework of Op Art.
