Anuszkiewicz was one of the founders of the Op Art movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He relied heavily on Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Life magazine referred to Anuszkiewicz as "one of the new wizards of Op" in 1964.
In 1963, Anuszkiewicz summarized his approach to painting as: "My work is of an experimental nature and has centered on an investigation into the effects of complementary colors of full intensity when juxtaposed and the optical changes that occur as a result, and a study of the dynamic effect of the whole under changing conditions of light, and the effect of light on color." Dorothy C. Miller, ed. (1963). Americans, 1963.

Mark: Signature fired onto the underside of the bowl
Richard Anuszkiewicz (b. 1930) is one of the leading artists of the Op Art movement, in his work Anuszkiewicz explores the nature of visual perception. The rhythm that he creates through the use of geometric and linear forms and vibrating colors of equal value has sometimes been compared to the cadence of poetry. less
