The Father of Op Art does not want to be called “the Father of Op Art”.

The title of Julian Stanczak’s first solo show in New York was meant to stir up controversy. “Optical Paintings” managed to do just that, with the ensuing media uproar coining the title of one of the most iconic art movements of the 20th Century. But Stanczak never fully accepted that title.
