Masters of Deception - New York: Sterling Publications, Fall, 2004



I read a book called "Masters of Deception" which were works from Escher, Dali, and other Artists of Optical Illusions.


It's a collection that profiles the work of over fifteen optical illusion artists (Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Salvador Dali, Sandro Del Prete, Jos De Mey, M.C. Escher, Robert Gonsalves, Matheau Haemakers, Ken Knowlton, Scott Kim, Guido Moretti, Vik Muniz, Istvan Orosz, John Pugh, Oscar Reutersvard, Roger Shepard, Dick Termes, Rex Whistler), profiling their work in depth. Most of the work in this volume has not been previously published. There is no comparable volume available.

Very deceptive works and very inspiring, I found this book to be of great inspiration. Building from what I've read and learn't on illusion, it's all a trick of the mind instead of seeing what we want to see we see what people show us instead.
