of optical illusion but what about the new generation of artists whose works deceive and
entice the eyes simultaneously? The Art of Optical Illusion shows masterpieces by more than 50
living artists working across a wide range of media to create fascinating deceptive images
that rock our imagination andchallenge 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 Johanssonto street murals by German artist 1010 this
book offers a wide panorama of optical illusionism.
