Anamorphic art quilts using optical or catoptric perspective - Gallery 1

What is anamorphic perspective?

Artists can foreshorten and angle linear perspective to deform and change the scale of an object. The image becomes incomprehensible when viewed directly but resolves into a clear picture when looked at from a different vantage point.

There are two types of anamorphosis: optical, also known as direct or oblique; and catoptric.

Optical anamorphosis requires the viewer to look at a picture from an unusual angle instead of standing in front of the painting and looking at it straight on.

Catoptric anamorphosis requires the image to be seen reflected in a conical, cylindrical or pyramidal mirror.
