Questions About Illusion Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Illusion sculptures are pieces of art that the artist has crafted in a certain way so that it seems to come alive. Illusion art is also referred to as trompe l’oeil, which is a French term meaning “to fool the eye.” See the magic for yourself and shop a collection of illusion sculptures from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In sculpture, perspective refers to how a piece fits into the space around it and what a viewer sees when they look at it from different angles. This differs from perspective in painting and drawing, which describes how to add depth to make two-dimensional objects seem three-dimensional. Find a wide variety of sculptures on 1stDibs.
