Bridget Riley: From Neo-Impressionism to Abstraction
A thought-provoking exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay explores how British artist Bridget Riley incorporated Seurat's compositions into her own artistic investigations.
Bridget Riley, born in 1931, is known for her strictly geometric painting style, featuring parallel vertical bands of color, black and white grids, and constructions based on repetition of triangles or curves.
Initially classified under Op Art in the 1960s, Riley's work is also linked to Minimal Art, as seen in the current exhibition at the Collection Pinault, Bourse de commerce in Paris.
Such convenient categories, however, fail to capture the uniqueness, continuity and coherence of her visual experimentation.
This experimentation has made Riley one of the foremost creators of abstraction in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond.
