| Summary |
Perspective is the art of understanding the space that surrounds us, and then having the skill to reproduce what we see in an image-to z flatteny the world on a sheet of paper. This clear and richly illustrated book features more than 400 diagrams that introduce artists, graphic designers, and architects to the principles of perspective, so that they can create their own illusion of reality. |
