about Red Edged Smokey Gray Square
This magnificent Op Art painting by Richard Anuszkiewicz showcases the artist's signature style.
Tight, precise lines of red paint spread out in all directions over a royal purple background, centering on a gray square. These closely-placed lines create a visual illusion that characterizes the Optical Art movement, tricking the eye into seeing movement on the canvas where there is none.
