This spellbinding look at the history and development of
illusionistic art reveals wide-ranging techniques that have piqued
the public's fascination with this medium. Beautifully reproduced,
the images featured in the book includes centuries-old work such as
the scenery at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy, and the
ceiling frescos at the Wurzburg Residence in Germany, that showcase
processes such as trompe l'oeil and anamorphosis. It also features
work from the 20th and 21st centuries, including Rene Magritte's
classic surrealist works; M. C. Escher's magical and mathematically
precise drawings; the seemingly undulating paintings of Bridget
Riley; the manipulated photography of Andreas Gursky; Duane
Hanson's eerily lifelike sculptures; JR's larger-than-life portrait
photographs; and George Rousse's mind- bending constructions. The
book also has examples of amazing street art including subway
graffiti and a sidewalk painting that makes pedestrians think
twice. This extraordinary and informative guide to all kinds of
artistic trickery will satisfy scholars as well as everyday fans.
