About this book

Is it real or is it a painting? That's the question trompe l'oeil (French for "fool the eye") artists want you to ask. This style of art is so realistic it takes viewers a minute or two to realize that it's NOT real. The colorfully illustrated book shows the tricks of the trade--from ancient times to the modern era. Fun for all ages!
