1: Deceptively great
This book has some fabulous paintings and drawings which as the book states can be really deceptive. My children are both fascinated with it and spend lots of time studying it. They enjoy showing it to their friends and it is very entertaining. A great coffee table book.

2: Great Illusion book
Really great coffee table book - excellent pictures and the details on the authors are amazing. Very highly recommended.
|
3: excellent!
Beautiful pictures, fascinating in their ambiguous interpretations. For anyone who likes Escher, these are many artists, all of the works worthy of long perusal.

Masters of Deception:
Escher, Dalí & the Artists of Optical Illusion
Published by Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. (New York), Fall 2004

There are a number of incredible artistic works featured in Masters of Deception, which require movement to appreciate their full impact. Additionally, I had in my possession various interviews with some of the book's featured artists that I wanted to share with my readership. Unfortunately, the publisher was unwilling to produce a CD to accompany the book. I have created this web site, therefore, to augment and enhance the reader's experience by presenting those works and interviews that I could not present in book form.

5: You cannot trust your eyes
This is a fascinating book to dip and absorb and marvel at how the artists use various techniques to show what we look at we dont see, and we see what we are "programmed" to see. Good fun.
