1960s Op-art screen print

1960s Op-art screen print depicting a single sheet of paper whose concealed watermark appears only through minute shifts in tightly spaced black lines. The sheet rises diagonally through the tall composition, its edges distinguished from the striped background by precise phase offsets; within it, compressed bands reveal a keyhole silhouette that dissolves toward the lower margin as the lines straighten. One acid-yellow strip follows the paper’s right edge, while flat, diffuse frontal illumination preserves stark black-and-white contrast and matte ink texture. Controlled interference creates optical vibration without spirals, checkerboards, lettering, or digital artifacts; 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper
