Расположите эти формы в нужном месте листа бумаги, а затем с помощью тушевки придайте изображению убедительную объемность. Правда же, это очень просто!

Considered a great classic by all who seek for a meeting ground between science and the humanities, Art and Illusion examines the history and psychology of pictorial representation in light of present-day theories of visual perception information and learning. Searching for a rational explanation of the changing styles of art, Gombrich reexamines many ideas on the imitation of nature and the function of tradition. In testing his arguments he ranges over the history of art, noticing particularly the accomplishments of the ancient Greeks, and the visual discoveries of such masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt, as well as the impressionists and the cubists. Gombrich's triumph in Art and Illusion arises from the fact that his main concern is less with the artists than with ourselves, the beholders.

This volume celebrates the discovery of a body of erotic work by Slade-educated Tom Poulton, best known as an illustrator of private press books in the 1920s and 1930s. The author takes a wry look at why this artist's surprisingly explicit work is so unusual for this period.

An original erotic drawing by Tom Poulton of Three Lovers.Pencil with some ink.
25cm X 37.5cm (approx.). In new off white mount.This original drawing was reproduced in the book published by The Erotic Print Society: 'An Artist's Secret Sketchbook'. This is a much more 'finished' work than the more sketched style of the majority of Poulton's drawings. An exceptional work by this master of mid-20th Century erotic art.
