Introduction

The work "Op Art Nude" stands as one of the most fascinating and unconventional experimental peaks in the vast, celebrated photographic production of Philippe Halsman. Universally renowned for his penetrating psychological portraits, his unprecedented 101 covers for LIFE magazine, and his conceptualization of "Jumpology," the Latvian-American author radically detaches himself here from the investigation of facial features and personal identity to embrace pure abstraction.
