Art and Illusionists

Fantastic colourful kaleidoscope celebrating optical illusions and their creators

The multitude of original pictures are not only a source of fascination for artists, who produce them, but also for scientists, who analyze the perceptual effects they produce

Includes a variety of new pictures and "perceptual portraits" created by the author

"Art and Illusionists" is a celebration of pictures and the multiple modes of manipulating them to produce illusory worlds on flat surfaces

The book is also a celebration of the ways we see pictures, and of our ability to distil meaning from arrays of contours and colours

Includes hands-on-material such as a single grating transparencies, moving patterns or a red/cyan spectacle

Unlike other books on the topic the book also concentrates on the illusionists - that is, the artists and scientists who produced paradoxical pictures, who are celebrated in new 'perceptual portraits'

A wonderful combination of science, arts - and joy

Includes a variety of new pictures and "perceptual portraits" created by the author, who is a leading scientists and artist in the field
