Bridget Riley's Blaze. Bridget Riley along with Victor Vasarely were strong exponents of the Optical Art (or Op Art) movement, which realized that screen printing was an ideal process for exploring ideas and publishing images as multiples at a relatively low cost. 

R.B. Kitaj's Hellebore for Georg Traki. Kitaj was a founding father of contemporary silkscreening, along with artists such as Paolozzi, Tilson, Peter Philips, Colin Self, Derek Boshier, and Andy Warhol. 

In April 1962, Andy Warhol used silkscreen for the first time in one of his largest money paintings, 200 One-dollar Bills 

"Chambers dictionary defines screenprinting as "a stencil process in which the color applied is forced through silk or other fine-mesh cloth." Screenprinting is a stencil-making process that has its roots in the production of wall decoration, ceramics, and fabrics by the ancient cultures of the Egyptians, Chinese, and Japanese. It was not until the 1850s, however, that the Japanese developed stencils that were held together, first by human hair and then by silk, to allow the possibility of screen printing as we know it."-Hughes & Vernon-Morris
