From the Back Cover:

Inspiration for Exploring Illusions - Paintings

Successfully converting what we see into flat, static images requires the
use of illusionary tools like perspective, scale, and vanishing point. These
tools are employed in varying degrees of success by artists, engineers,
and mathematicians to depict our three dimensional in-motion world.

The optical illusion paintings, represented in this document, attempt to
reduce these tools to their simplest forms. When successful this gives the
viewer a pure representation of the illusion.

Applying this knowledge should make it easier to appreciate great art and
the artists use of optical illusions.

I hope you enjoy the illusions - GR
