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 the repetition of triangles or curves.
In the 1960s, her work was classified under Op Art and linked to Minimal Art, but such categories fail to capture the uniqueness and continuity of her visual experimentation.
Riley's work has made her one of the foremost creators of abstraction in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, with her work currently featured in an exhibition on minimalist aesthetics at the Collection Pinault, Bourse de commerce in Paris.
Her visual experimentation has made her one of the foremost creators of abstraction.
