The artwork depicted is titled “Night Constellation,” created by Yaacov Agam in 1979. This piece belongs to the Op Art movement and is categorized under the abstract genre.
“Night Constellation” features an intricate interplay of colors and lines within a circular form set against a dark, almost black, background. Vertical stripes of varying thickness cut through the circle, fragmenting the radiant, multi-colored segments into a visually dynamic composition. The use of vibrant hues such as reds, blues, greens, and yellows against the dark backdrop emphasizes the luminosity and depth of the artwork. The arrangement of colors and lines creates an optical illusion, compelling the viewer’s eye to move rhythmically across the canvas, which is characteristic of the Op Art movement.
