Victor Vasarely is an interesting artist.
He's been doing art for many years, starting off with early figuration and progressing further and further.
Most of what I've seen is simplistic, yet assembled in a way to fool the mind. Works dealing with black and white or only two or three colors are the most attratcive to myself, because they are simple and aesthetically pleasing. His personal website is very interesting and easy to browse.

While doing an image search on his works I've found that while there are also pictures from his site, there are also other works that he has chosen not to display, most of which involve tunnels, or what appear to be tunnels.
Bridget Riley's work is much more intense than Victor's in my opinion. Her work is always large, and sometimes overwhelming.
I seem to stare at her pieces for longer periods of time, perhaps it takes my mind even longer to be able to comprehend it all. She usually works in graytone, even more so than Victor, and her work always seems flat... well in medium not necessarily for the images themselves.
