A journey into the world of optical illusion. It invites children to solve mysteries, puzzles and visual mazes, and reveals how artists from the Renaissance to the present day bewilder and enchant us. There are illustrations and explanatory diagrams, showing how artists including Raphael, Magritte, Escher and Bridget Riley are able to trick the eye through the use of perspective, line and colour.
