While Anuszkiewicz is considered a pioneer of the Optical Art Movement, he also calls forth other associations, mainly with the rigorous color theory
of his mentor Josef Albers. His paintings explore the optical properties of color, challenging the viewer’s eye while investigating formal, structural, and color ef- fects. Anuszkiewicz received his bachelor’s degree from Cleveland Institute of Art, OH, and Masters of Fine Art from Yale University School of Art and Architec- ture in New Haven, CT. His works were included in the seminal 1965 exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art, NY. His work is included in many important public and private collections including The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; The Corcoran Museum of Art, Washington, DC; Denver Museum of Art, Denver, CO; Detroit Institute of Art, Denver, CO; Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; and the Whitney Mu- seum of American Art, New York, NY.
