The Art and Science of Visual Illusions

London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1982. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #008539

Full green paper boards. xi, 293 pp. B&W illustrations in text. Includes plastic envelope with plastic sheets of further illusions inserted into tipped in corner pocket to rear pastedown. Light age toning to outer margins of interior. Light bumping to extremities of dust jacket. Near fine. This book spans the gap between the artist's and the scientist's approach to visual illusions. By adopting the visual 'language' of the former and the vocabulary of the latter, complex and intriguing designs are described in terms of the concept of visual science. Both two- and three-dimensional illusions are included, making the book so rich in visual puzzles that it will delight the layman as much as the psychologist or artist.
