About This Item
New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2005. Orig Stiff Wrprs 122 pp.,with colour illustrations. HILARIOUS! Humorous collection of paintings, drawings, cartoons, masks, toys, advertisements, and other works of ephemera that, by flipping, spinning, twisting, pulling or just plain staring transform the human face. Here you will find optical illusions from the Renaissance, Enlightenment-era political cartoons, and Victorian toys that all start off as one thing and end up as another. Sometimes these mutations were made for fun (give magnetic hair to a bald man!) sometimes for profit (buy a Studebaker!), and sometimes to score a political point (watch a French king turn into a big fat pear!), but the results are always an intriguing pleasure to watch. AS NEW.. 1st edition. 22 x 22 cm.
