"No painter, dead or alive, has ever made us more aware of our eyes than Bridget Riley."-The New Statesman
Uncompromising and remarkably innovative, Bridget Riley is one of the most respected artists working today. This comprehensive survey of Riley's 40-year career, published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Britain, London, includes key examples in lush colorplates of all phases of her work.
Riley first attracted critical attention with the dazzling black-and-white paintings she began to make in 1961 under the "Op Art" banner. Popularized through the mass media and widely "borrowed" by the fashion industry, these images came to epitomize an era. Since then she has remained at the forefront of developments in contemporary painting, making highly distinctive works that articulate an abstract language in which relationships of color and form generate powerful visual sensations.
Each new development in Riley's work generates fresh interest in her art. Here, Paul Moorhouse, Richard Shiff, and Robert Kudielka provide an overview of her work and career, and fresh analyses of the ways in which her work relates to theories of aesthetic perception.
