This tie represents a quintessential Optical Art design with flat black and white forms manipulated to appear three dimensional. Optical Art originated with the Bauhaus in 1919 but saw resurgence in the mid-1960s and disseminated throughout the following decades. A. Sulka & Company's use of this style of art is indicative of its popularity.
