Bridget Riley Drawings: from the Artist's Studio. In this interview from 2019, Riley reminisces about her decision to attend art school: Bridget Riley: Before I started to draw, though, I started to look. I actually didn't think about being an artist at all. Well, I didn't think about art either. I thought, to find a context in which somehow I could exercise something in me, which I didn't know what it was, but it was about looking. And where to do that, it just seemed, that, the only place I could go was to an art school.
