Emerging as a break from abstract expressionism and contrasting with pop art, it uses precise, eye-teasing visual effects that can shift from fascination to boredom through repetition. Its roots trace back to artists who explored color and optical theories, while modern practitioners employ grids, afterimages, and moiré patterns for controlled stimulation, sometimes in collaborative research-like teams.","人AN'S eyes are not windows,al-V though he has long regarded themas such.They can be baffled,boggledand balked.They often see things thatare not there and fail to see things thatare.In the eyes resides man's first sense,and it is fallibke.  \nPreying and playing on the fallibilityin vision is the new movement of \"opti-cal art\"that has sprung up across theWestern world.No less a break fromabstract expressionism than pop art,opart is made tantalizing.eye-teasing,even eye-smarting by visual researchersusing all the ingredients of an optome-trist's nightmare.Manhattan's commer-cial galleries are beginning to find spaceon their walls for it,and the Museumof Modern Art is planning an op showtitled \"The Responsive Eye\"early nextyear.Says the show's organizer,Cu-rator William Seitz:\"These works existless as objects than as generators ofperceptual responses.\"  \nPleasure in Precision.\"Optical art isthis year's dress length,\"says Carl J.Weinhardt Jr.,director of Manhattan's  \nOP ART:PICTURES THAT ATTACK THE EYE  \nGallery of Modern Art,which will notshow any.Some eritics already arethrowing their weight behind op in dubi-ous battle with pop.Actually,they bothshare an everyman's land.If anything,they are opposite sides of the same coin,gambled on what art can become.  \nScornful of the emotionalism and ac-cident in abstract expressionism.opartists know where they stand.Preci-sion is their pleasure.Their art instantlyengages the beholder,yet does not de-mand his involvement or insist that herelate it to the world of objects,emo-tions or experiences.Op fascinates theway a kakeidoscope does a child.Itspitfall is that fascination often turns,by repetition,to boredom.  \nOp art has a legitimate ancestry.Cé-zanne,Seurat and Monet seized uponnewly proposed theories of opties whenthey painted.In this century,such con-structivists as Mondrian and Malevichwere the forebears of op art's dry,high-ly controlled use of color,which some-times—as in the work of Britain's laby-rinth-making Jeffrey Steele,33(above)  \nJEFFREY STEELE  \nHarlequinade  \n2wixALLE8r,L69ot  \n—amounts to rejecting color.Whenthey do use color,however,it is tostimulate the first sense direetly ratherthan to enhance forms.  \nSleights of Art.The immediate fatherfigures of op art are Josef Albers,76,that pioncer in the perception of color,and Victor Vasarely,56(see oppositepage),a Hungarian who lives in Paris.Albers paints only colored squares.Vasarely dons the craftsy lab coat in-stead of the smock and refers to hiswork as visual research.Their influencehas given birth to optical artists in adozen countries,from Israel's YaacovAgam to remote lceland's poet-painterDiter Rot.Last summer the pavilions atthe Venice Biennale and the attics ofGermany's Dokumenta III dickered andchattered with electrically driven,andeven electronically musical,kinetic op.  \nAt the square root of op art are theessentially static visual phenomena thatenslave and enthrall the eye.The opartist's job is to turn those illusionsinto sleights of art.Some examine theway a single color looks darker than it  \nVICTOR VASARELY  \nBeryll  \ne*  \nGRUPPO N's Geometric Tronsformotion,1960was photogrophed in three-exposure swinging shot.  \nEQUIPO 57's Development C12 is a cooperative effort,involving five artists.  \n…  \nis against a lighter background.Some,like Steele,place contrasting shapes to-gether,which cause the eye to perceivethem alternately as figure and ground;the theory is that such shifts move be-tween stimulation and repose,possiblyto relieve eyestrain.Richard Anuszkiewicz,34,plays with afterimages,or theway one color engenders the false sen-sation of its complement on the retina.In his Union of the Four (at righr),the red pigment throughout the paint-ing is the same hue,despite what theeye sees.  \nAnother optical effect often exploitedby op is the moiré pattern,familiar inthe shimmer of watered silk fabrics.Fundamentally,these flashes of apparentreflection are created whenever two ormore grids of parallel or periodic
