Op Art, short for Optical Art, was first practiced at the Bauhaus, a German art school founded by Walter Gropius. Students were taught to focus on the overall design, form and function of the work, and the entire composition in order to present unified works. Op Art was first presented to America in the October 1964 issue of Time Magazine.
