In the mid-20th century, artists such as Josef Albers , Victor Vasarely , and M.C. Escher experimented with Optical Art. Escher's work, although not abstract, also deals extensively with various forms of visual tricks and paradoxes. The rare inclusion of geometric optical art in art history texts suggests that critics often dismissed the genre as less painterly, intellectual or emotive than previous art movements. However, op art was a forward-thinking aesthetic that broke away from the norm, embracing social concerns with science and math , and in doing so pushed the boundaries of fine art in popular culture.
