“Coordination II” is an abstract artwork created by Yaacov Agam in 1975, belonging to the Op Art movement. The piece is characterized by its geometric shapes and vibrant colors, arranged in a way that challenges the viewer’s perception of movement and depth.
The artwork features a series of vertical and horizontal stripes interspersed with an array of shapes, including circles and rectangles. These forms are rendered in a dynamic combination of colors such as red, blue, yellow, and green, along with black and white. The overall composition is complex and appears to shift when viewed from different angles, a key element in Op Art that creates an optical illusion of movement. The background of the canvas is a neutral tone, which contrasts with and highlights the vibrant, shifting patterns in the foreground.
