The Art of Optical Illusion

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 Illusionshows 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".
