Editorial Reviews

Review

Parola's is the first complete exploration of the optical art movement of the 1960s: as such, it reviews visual perception concepts, details how viewers observe changing patterns and illusions, and provides an excellent set of black and white and color examples of optical art achievements. A fine introduction to the topic. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Optical Art
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2002
Verified Purchase
I bought this book to teach students optical art. It has a lot of designs to reproduce and it is great to use along with a math lesson because students learn to measure. If you just one to create great optical art this is the book to buy.
