• After the Responsive eye exhibition the public was fascinated with optical art.
• Advertisements began to use it. They took inspiration Riley’s
and Vasarely’s compositional styles. Riley tried to sue one
fashion industry for printing her work on dresses.

Julian Stanczak
• Born in Poland in 1928. • In 1940 he was taken to a concentration camp in Siberia. • There he lost the use of his right arm (which he drawn with.) He was only 10.• AT JUST 13 HE ESCAPED. He made it to Persia and joined a
resistance army. Then to a refugee camp in Uganda.• At 21 he made it to America with an idea in his head of the
‘American dream’. There he made it to a shelter and was fed. The American dream was to him. ‘The feeling of being full’
• In the 50s he attended Yale.• But was his art influenced by his personal experience…..?

NO!• “Everybody was trying to push me to paint
from my experience. Why do you drown in the misery of your problems? Who cares if you suffer? Everyone suffers!”
• HOWEVER. The lost of his arm caused him to be careful with geometry. Any precision requires tape to create guides before paint was applied.
