Different Perspectives in Art
The Renaissance is often hailed as the turning point in art history. The moment lineair perspective was truly understood in Western Art, leading to new heights in artist’s achievements. However, what if lineair perspective is not the holy grail?
Join us as we discuss the many different perspectives used by artists throughout art history. We will look at one point perspective, multiple point perspective, continuing perspective, reverse perspective (inverted perspective), the 4th dimension and other ways to look at or experience the space in a work of art. Art works from different moments in times will be chosen, focussing on Western European art although references will be made to other regions in the world.
