HARD-EDGE OP ART ACRYLIC BY NICK LUTTINGER (1970s)An original acrylic painting on canvas by New York artist NICHOLAS LUTTINGER (b. 1942), combining aspects of Op Art with hard edge abstraction: twin derivatives of Minimalism. While both eschew a focus on personal expression, the former emphasizes optical illusion and other perceptual effects like the perspective games that Nick is playing, and the latter is defined by bold, flat areas of color (here, tones of blue, green, and orange) separated by

An original acrylic painting on canvas by New York artist NICHOLAS LUTTINGER (b. 1942), combining aspects of Op Art with hard-edge abstraction: twin derivatives of Minimalism. While both eschew a focus on personal expression, the former emphasizes optical illusion and other perceptual effects like the perspective games that “Nick” is playing, and the latter is defined by bold, flat areas of color (here, tones of blue, green, and orange) separated by sharp, clear lines. The canvas is currently unframed; the image wraps around the side of the stretcher to encourage frameless display. The artist’s signature runs along one edge.


NICHOLAS LUTTINGER grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens, in New York City. He enrolled at the Pratt Institute in 1959, graduating with a BFA in Graphic Arts and Illustration in 1965. Luttinger spent several years as a graphic designer while pursuing his passion for painting and printmaking. His technical knowledge and skill with various painting media—including oil, acrylic, and wax—are exceptional. He is equally skilled as a printmaker in aquatint, engraving, intaglio methods, and stone lithography.

Luttinger has spent over four decades creating art that explores the psyche and emotions while pursuing his unique vision. Since the 1970s, his graphic work has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City (MoMA). A drawing by the artist is held by the Estate of Jerome Robbins, the great choreographer of the past century. Luttinger’s work and vision will stand as an important contribution to the art of the late 20th century.

Luttinger is also an accomplished Spanish-language interpreter.

Good condition Amazing read.
Format: Paperback
Amazing book shipped in good condition which is surprising since it's a paper back and most my books I got from Amazon have at least a little damage from shipping. Definitely pick up this book if you make games.

My 22 year-old grandson was incredibly happy with this gift!
Format: Paperback
I can't write a meaningful review of the content of this book, because I don't begin to understand it, however, it was one of the things my grandson requested for his 22nd birthday, and he seemed thrilled to get it and he tells me it's a great book, so I can say whole heartedly, this is a terrific birthday gift for anyone who's into computer games.

More Theory than Actionable Advice on Game Design
Format: Paperback
Not a bad book, but not what I expected going in. I read this for a bookclub like event on twitch. I thought there was going to be actionable advice. Like 'do X to make Y feel". The introduction points out that the book is not about the emotional feelings a player receives from games, and this is true. The book DOES provide a language for discussing game design at a more academic level. It is about the theory of how a game feels, and while I didn't agree with everything Steve wrote it was easy enough to follow the thoughts.
