Title:	Square of Two
Artist:	Neal, Reginald H. (Leicester, England, 1909 - U.S.A., 1992)
Date:	c. 1965
Medium:	Original Color Lithograph
Note:	Reginald H. Neal: During the 1960's the phenomenon known as Op art came to the forefront in both America and Europe. Briefly, Op was a form of abstract art that examined and exploited optical elements to cause a work of visual art to appear to vibrate, pulsate or flicker. Contemporary experiments in perceptual psychology provided a key influence and international attention was instantly focused on Op art in 1965 when the Museum of Modern Art in New York launched a major exhibition on the movement entitled, "The Responsive Eye". Unlike most movements in later twentieth century art, Op had an immediate effect upon popular culture, particularly in the fields of fashion and design. Major exponents of Op art were Victor Vaserely, Bridget Riley, Richard Anuszkiewicz and Reginald Neal.
	Reginald Neal moved to America (Decatur, Illinois) at an early age. He received his BA in 1932 from Bradley University and his MA in 1939 from the University of Chicago (Art History). Neal's first one-man exhibition of his paintings and prints took place in Chicago in 1944. He later exhibited his art at the Museum of Modern Art, Pratt-Contemporaries and the Associated American Artists, New York, as well as the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Cincinnati Art Museum the Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia.
	Almost as important as his artistic influence, Neal was a major theorist and teacher. During his career he taught at such institutions as the Escuela de Bellas Artes, Mexico, and the Contemporaries Graphic Center, New York. Today, Neal's original lithographs are included in the following collections; The Library of Congress, Washington, DC, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, Brigham Young University, Princeton University, the Davenport Municipal Art Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Provenance:	Square of Two was acquired from the archive collection of the Associated American Artists of New York. From approximately 1935 to 1970, the A.A.A. was a leading publisher of American art. It is known that Reginald H. Neal was commissioned by the A.A.A. at least on three separate occasions to create original lithographs. Square of Two, therefore, was most probably commissioned and published by the Associated American Artists.
