Perspective for Artists

A classic in its field, this superb little book covers all an artist could ever need to know on the subject. Starting with basic principles such as receding parallel lines meeting at a distant point, the author covers depth, foreshortened surfaces, inclined planes, arches, the circle, perspective of architecture and landscape, shadows, reflections and a whole host of specific subject matter and treatments. One of the best aspects of the content is the clear explanation and liberal use of the work of many great artists, and the comprehensive working drawings used to illustrate each point.
