Abstract (en)

Reviews a book that combines theoretical critiques of vision and pictorial representation with practical instruction about how to replicate visual experience in drawing. Focuses on the authors' claims that linear perspective is based on an erroneous fact of visual perception and that more accurate pictures can be constructed with a method of drawing that captures the curvature of lines in the visual field.
