“Double Metamorphosis, II” is a work of art created by Yaacov Agam in 1964. It is part of the Op Art movement and falls into the abstract genre. The artwork is characterized by its intricate pattern and vibrant color palette, typical of Agam’s style, which aims to engage viewers through perceptual effects.
The artwork comprises a grid of vertical lines with multiple overlapping forms and shapes. The colors are dynamic, shifting between different hues as the lines intersect, producing a sense of movement and transformation. The overlay of geometric patterns in varying widths and colors creates a pulsating visual effect, prompting an interaction with the viewer’s perception and visual cognition. The deliberate arrangement of lines and shapes generates an illusion of depth and motion, making the artwork a quintessential example of Op Art’s exploration of optical effects and abstract visual stimulation.
