Do things always look smaller when they are further away? Can something be clearly visible but not there at all? Is it ever possible to have direct and true experience of reality? Are you totally sure? In this informative little book Phoebe McNaughton takes us on a classical journey through the history of artistic perspective, showing how the eye can be tricked and confused, the brain befuddled, and the philosopher inside all of us awakened by the nature of illusion.
