Art critics of the 1960s dubbed Riley's optical painting style Op Art. By the time her work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965, it already had been embraced by the fashion and design industry. Today her paintings are inspiring a new generation of abstractionists because of what they say about the magic of seeing.
