Subsidiary artists: Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland. Op Art. Op Art spread during the 1960s. It was a revolt against the reign of Abstract Expressionism. These artists drew upon scientific materials from optics and psychology to create illusions of movement and distortions of form. Artists: Larry Poons, Richard Anuszkiweicz, Julian Stanczak. Minimal Art. Minimal art continued the tradition of abstraction. "Minimal" attitude was antipathetic to composition, hierarchy, "beauty", "sentiment" and "personal emotion". Previous artists had developed methods to eliminate the "hand of the artist". Paintings stressed the relationship between single images and the frame, instead of the interrelations between internal parts of the composition. Even the simplest forms turned out to be highly complex, especially when seen against its total environment, lighting conditions and the position of the spectator.
