Read Art and Perspective By Trevor A. White Full Books Online in HD Quality

Taking famous works of art as examples, the author takes us on a journey from pre-historic art, through spectacular Renaissance paintings, to modern-day hyper-realism. We learn how artists represented our world over the centuries, and how they eventually devised techniques that offer an impressive sense of depth and realism on a flat canvas. Next time you see a painting, especially a famous one, you will appreciate, even more, the genius behind the canvas.

A book for art and design students and all who love art and would like to learn more.

Leonardo da Vinci wrote: “Perspective is the guide and the gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing."

Throughout time, artists have struggled to represent our three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional canvas.

How differently have artists represented our world over the centuries?
When did artists first represent the world in a realistic, natural-looking way?
What techniques did they use to help achieve realism?

This book will help you understand the history and techniques through richly illustrated examples.
