Physical Description
This is a square painting with skinny vertical lines of green on a background of red. There are two square forms in the center, each with a diagonal line from the upper left to lower right corners. One square is created by a pinkish, purple line and the other is created by a reddish orange line.
Subject Matter
This abstract painting is an example of Op Art where the artist uses a repetition of geometric shapes and contrasting colors to create visual effects such as foreground-background confusion and ambiguous depth perception. Julian Stanczak was a student of Josef Albers, a painter who studied the perceptual qualities of color and the visual effects when various colors are combined
