23 Amazing Anamorphic Artworks That Need A Mirror Cylinder To Reveal Their Beauty
Anamorphic art is based on a distorted projection, when only specific devices viewed from a specific angle let the viewer see the beautiful image hidden in an abstract image or sculpture. In mirror anamorphosis, an image is formed by a distorted mirror (usually a cylinder) placed near an abstract image or sculpture. This mind-bending technique was invented in the late Renaissance (16th century), but its potential is much appreciated by many brilliant contemporary artists as well, such as Jonty Hurwitz (previously here) and Myrna Hoffman, whose company produces mirror anamorphosis art kits and activities for kids.
Here we present an inspiring collection of the finest examples of this technique from both the past and present.
