Summary

Throughout the book, each image is accompanied by an explanation of how it works, the story behind it when it was discovered or who invented it first and the details of exactly why it fools the human brain. The book includes many new and previously unpublished illusions, as well as new adaptations of lesser-known illusions. It also includes works by well-known illusion artists such as Bridget Riley, Salvador Daliacute;, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Oscar Reutersvauml;rd, Reneacute; Magritte, Istvaacute;n Orosz and Rob Gonsalves. There are chapters on the following subjects: optical illusions from the real world (mirage, refraction, afterimage), ambiguous figures, impossible figures, color adaptation, moving illusions and paradoxical illusions. Packed with inventive and colorful artworks, this will be a popular book with the gift and reference markets. The book provides an interesting take on this fascinating subject, with an emphasis on interaction, education and creative thinking.
