Op art
It is also known as optical art. It is basically repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, foregroundbackground confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects. In a sense, all painting is based on tricks of visual perception: manipulating rules of perspective to give the illusion of three-dimensional space, mixing colors to create the impression of light and shadow, and so on.
Victor Vasarely He was a Hungarian–French artist, who is widely accepted as a “grandfather” and leader of the short-lived op art movement. During the 1960’s and 70’s his optical images became part of the popular culture, having a deep impact on architecture, computer science, fashion. He insisted on making his art accessible to everyone. His motto was “Art for all”.

pOp art
This movement emerged in the mid-1950 and was marked by a fascination with popular culture. It was most prominent in American art but soon spread to Britain. In celebrating everyday objects such as soup cans, washing powder, comic strips and soda pop bottles, the movement turned the commonplace into icons. Pop Art is a direct descendant of Dadaism in the way it mocks the established art world by appropriating images from the street, the supermarket, the mass media, and presents it as art in itself. The latter’s definition of Pop Art became “popular, transient, expendable, low-cost, mass-produced art”
Andy warhol He was an American artist who was a leading figure in this art movement. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Warhol’s art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.

Conceptual Art
Conceptual art, sometimes simply called Conceptualism, is art in which the concept or idea involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Many works of conceptual art, sometimes called installations, may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of written instructions.
Joseph Kosuth Joseph Kosuth is one of the pioneers of Conceptual art and installation art, initiating language-based works and appropriation strategies in the 1960s. He lives in New York and London, after residing in various cities in Europe, including Ghent, Rome and Berlin. His work has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art.

Photorealism
Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic mediums, in which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium. Although the term can be used to broadly describe artworks in many different mediums, it is also used to refer specifically to a group of paintings and painters of the United States art movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Junk art
Junk Art originates from the French, describing art created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Found objects derive their identity as art from the designation placed upon them by the artist and from the social history that comes with the object. This may be indicated by either its anonymous wear and tear or by its recognizability as a consumer icon.

Art povera
Arte Povera literally means poor art. The movement was during 1967-1972 and took place in cities throughout Italy. The term was coined by Italian art critic Germano Celant. Artists began attacking the values of established institutions of government, industry, and culture.
Alighiero Boetti Alighiero Boetti was born in Turin, Italy in 1940. Although not formally trained in art, Boetti was preoccupied with the theory of creativity from an early age. His fundamental concern with the relationship between “order” and “disorder” is manifest in his grid structures derived from the “magical squares”

neo dada
Neo-Dada is a minor audio and visual art movement that has similarities in method or intent to earlier Dada artwork. While it revived some of the objectives of dada, it put “emphasis on the importance of the work of art produced rather than on the concept generating the work. It is exemplified by its use of modern materials, popular imagery, and absurdist contrast. It also patently denies traditional concepts of aesthetics.
Jasper Johns Jasper Johns was an artist that came onto the scene in the 1950s. Much of the work that he created led the American public away from the expressionism form, and towards an art movement or form known as the concrete. He would depict many flags and maps, and this created a more distinct style with the work that was being done during this period in American art history.
