A thinking person's guide to reality.
" "
The science of perspective has informed the representational and
decorative arts since their inception, and its gradual perfection
during the Renaissance was as important an event as any of the
other mathematical and scientific developments of the time.
Beginning with the evolution of visual perspective, Phoebe
McNaughton reveals how and why illusions work in the first place.
Questioning the idea that what we see is actually what is out
there, she offers further optical illusions to suggest to readers
that the world they perceive is in fact a complex product of their
brain, constructed from the sensory data. Closing with various
magical, theological, and atmospheric illusions and a further
philosophical discussion of the nature of reality, "Perspective
"will appeal widely to artists, designers, architects, and anyone
interested in the visual or graphic arts.
