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 W rzburg Residence in Germany, that showcase processes such as trompe l'oeil and anamorphosis. It also features work from the 20th and 21st centuries, including Ren  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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.9 x 9.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769282789664,"sku":"9783791386799","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a8be25a16eff44ac4f64573469a607d3.webp?v=1780345021","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-art-of-illusion-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
