Richard Anuszkiewicz
(American, b. 1930)
Untitled #24, circa 1965
Serigraph
Born in Erie, Pennsylvania and educated under the direction of Joseph
Albers at Yale University, Richard Anuszkiewicz is one of the pioneers of
the 1970s art movement known as Op Art (a.k.a. Optical Retinal
Stimulation Art). Anuszkiewicz’s work demonstrates his interest in the
color theories of Albers and basic relationships of geometric
shapes. Anuszkiewicz emerged as an important figure in late
twentieth century art as he embarked upon his own painting style.
The work in Muhlenberg'’s collection, Untitled #24, has been attributed to the popular series of serigraphs or silkscreens called the Six Seritypien Screenprint series. Produced in 1965, this series of prints was produced in an edition of only 125 suites of six prints per suite. One suite of six serigraphs is in the college’s permanent collection.
