We delight in using our eyes, particularly when puzzling over
pictures. Art and illusionists is a celebration of pictures and the
multiple modes of manipulating them to produce illusory worlds on
flat surfaces. This has proved fascinating to humankind since the
dawning of depiction. Art and illusionists is also a celebration of
the ways we see pictures, and of our ability to distil meaning from
arrays of contours and colours. Pictures are not only a source of
fascination for artists, who produce them, but also for scientists,
who analyse the perceptual effects they induce. Illusions provide
the glue to cement the art and science of vision. Painters plumb
the art of observation itself whereas scientists peer into the
processes of perception. Both visual artists and scientists have
produced patterns that perplex our perceptions and present us with
puzzles that we are pleased to peruse. Art and illusionists
presents these two poles of pictorial representation as well as
presenting novel `perceptual portraits' of the artists and
scientists who have augmented the art of illusion. The reader can
experience the paradoxes of pictures as well as producing their own
by using the stereoscopic glasses enclosed and the transparent
overlay for making dynamic moire patterns.
