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 Würzburg Residence in Germany, that showcase processes such as trompe l'oeil and anamorphosis. It also features work from the 20th and 21st centuries, including René 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\u003cbr\u003eAndreas Gursky; Duane Hanson's eerily lifelike sculptures; JR's larger-than-life portrait photographs; and Georges 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFLORIAN HEINE is an arts editor, photographer, and author whose many books include \u003ci\u003e50 Contemporary Photographers You Should Know\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBuildings that Revolutionized Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePhotography: The Groundbreaking Moments\u003c\/i\u003e (all by Prestel).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.9 x 9.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50335258083565,"sku":"9783791386799","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/SWPdmItuqw9783791386799.webp?v=1785033919","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-art-of-illusion-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
