Discover how artists have been tricking the human eye for centuries in this gorgeous and wide-ranging exploration of the art of illusion.
This spellbinding look at the history and development of illusionistic art reveals wide-ranging techniques that have piqued the public’s fascination with this medium.

It also features work from the 20th and 21st centuries, including René Magritte’s classic Surrealist works; M.C. Escher’s magical and mathematically precise drawings; the seemingly undulating paintings of Bridget Riley; the manipulated photography of
