Midwest Book Review
Parola's is the first complete exploration of the optical art movement of the 1960s: as such, it reviews visual perception concepts, details how viewers observe changing patterns and illusions, and provides an excellent set of black and white and color examples of optical art achievements. A fine introduction to the topic.
