“Passage,” created by the artist Yaacov Agam, is an abstract work belonging to the Op Art movement. The artwork is distinguished by its integration of geometric forms and vibrant colors arranged in a dynamic, optical pattern that engages viewers with its visual complexity.
In “Passage,” Agam utilizes an intricate composition of parallel lines and intersecting shapes, which combine to produce a sense of movement and depth. Bright, contrasting colors such as blues, reds, greens, and yellows are meticulously arranged to form a symmetrical design that seems to shift and change from different angles. The juxtaposition of vertical and diagonal lines enhances the illusion of three-dimensional space, characteristic of the Op Art movement’s emphasis on visual perception and optical effects.
