Understanding Western Art
Summary
Delve into the use of perspective and illusionistic techniques in art, and how we perceive the three-dimensional world in two dimensions. Encounter landmark deceptions in art, that give the illusion of depth and distance or fool our eyes into seeing things which are impossible. See the brilliant use of these methods in Holbein's The Ambassadors and the groundbreaking still lifes of Cézanne.
