Phoebe McNaughton Książki

In this delightful and informative little book Phoebe McNaughton takes us on a classical journey through the history of artistic perspective, showing how the eye can be tricked and confused, the brain befuddled, and the philosopher inside all of us awakened by the nature of illusion.

A thinking person's guide to reality.The science of perspective has informed the representational and decorative arts since their inception, and its gradual perfection during the Renaissance was as important an event as any of the other mathematical and scientific developments of the time. Beginning with the evolution of visual perspective, Phoebe McNaughton reveals how and why illusions work in the first place. Questioning the idea that what we see is actually what is out there, she offers further optical illusions to suggest to readers that the world they perceive is in fact a complex product of their brain, constructed from the sensory data. Closing with various magical, theological, and atmospheric illusions and a further philosophical discussion of the nature of reality, Perspective will appeal widely to artists, designers, architects, and anyone interested in the visual or graphic arts.

Following the success of Quadrivium and Sciencia, a compendium of six titles on art and design in the acclaimed Wooden Books series appears here in one volume.

Vypadá to, co je od nás dál, vždy jako menší? Nevidíme někdy zcela zřetelně něco, co tam ve skutečnosti není? Je vůbec možné pomocí zraku získat přímý a pravdivý obraz skutečnosti? Takové otázky před nás klade anglická průmyslová designérka, grafička a malířka Phoebe McNaughonová. Její půvabná knížka nás provádí historií vizuálního zobrazování skutečnosti a dějinami perspektivy ve výtvarném umění od starověku přes renesanci až po moderní dobu.
