We all know about M.C. Escher, Victor Vasarely, and Oscar Reutersvärd
as 20th century masters of optical illusion, but what
about the new generation of artists whose works deceive and
entice the eyes simultaneously?
The Art of Optical Illusion shows masterpieces by more than
50 living artists working across a wide range of media to create
fascinating, deceptive images that rock our imagination and
challenge our rationality.
From 3D drawings by Dutch illustrator Ramon Bruin to dizzying
installations by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich, and from
stunning montages by Swedish photographer Erik Johansson
to street murals by German artist 1010, this book offers a wide
panorama of "optical illusionism?.
