Signed, numbered and titled by the artist in pencil, recto. // La Lune by Bridget Riley, created in 1965, is a classic example of the artist’s pioneering work in the Op Art movement. This limited edition screen-print features black and white curved lines that appear to ripple across the surface, creating a sense of undulating movement and depth. The optical illusion formed by the precise placement and variation of the lines plays with the viewer’s perception, making the flat surface seem dynamic and shifting. Riley’s expertise in manipulating simple forms and monochrome tones demonstrates her commitment to exploring visual perception and the complexities of seeing. The title La Lune (The Moon) evokes a sense of natural curvature and flow, mirroring the phases and movement of the moon. This print, signed, titled, and numbered in pencil by Riley, is part of an edition of 200, emphasizing the importance of this piece within her body of work and its historical relevance to the Op Art movement.

What is Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
