  • In 1960, Bridget Riley started exploring the visual sensation of looking.  She investigated the dynamic potential of optical effects.  This would become known as op art.  Riley mostly worked with the contrast of black and white, occasionally introducing different tones of grey.  In Fall, she repeated a single curving line to create varying optical frequencies.  She said of this work: I try to organise a field of visual energy which accumulates until it reaches maximum tension.".
