Talk:Depth and Perspective

Probably worth taking a look at:

David Summers, Real Spaces: World Art History and the Rise of Western Modernism (Phaidon, 2003).

and

E.H. Gombrich, Art and Illusion, 1960.

for info on depth in art.

Nice site that deserves a link somewhere, just not sure where yet: http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/teaching/math-art-arch.shtml

Quote

The Escher quote at the top of page is something I found while looking at the Escher collection in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. There's more, before the part I used:

Man creates for himself an extremely superficial picture of the three dimensional world in which he lives, for none of his senses can help him penetrate the surface of matter.
