    Default Anamorphic Images

    Gary recently posted a link on Facebook to Anamorphic Images. It got my interest so I thought I'd have a go at creating one in Xara. Here is the result:

    We need some more views to see the distortion. The Flemish artists and others I am sure had discovered this technique. This image by Hans Holbein for example has a diagonal shape that when viewed from the right angle is a skull

    Dali is surrealism, Steve. A totally different genre though I would not be surprised if he did a few of these.

    An on going experiment Gary. The original photo can be all important. Haven't found a really great one yet. The elongated image is the one that's printed then laid on a worktop and photoed from a low angle.

    Still not 100% there. Thanks for the original link Gary, not the same type of Anamorphic Images as your's but it gave me an avenue to explore.

    Surrealism is a genre Gary - Anamorphic is a technique - or so they told me at art school all those years ago...

    some [random] links for you :

    https://artsology.com/salvador-dali-anamorphic-art.php

    https://www.moillusions.com/dalis-anamorphic-artworks/

    myself I'm rather fond of the snappily entitled: Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln [which I got to see in a gallery at Bruges, mind you twenty paces, let alone metres, back was an issue because people kept getting in the way as people do ] - but is that anamorphic in the true sense... leave that up to you - if you want a breakdown of that technique here it is: http://www.scottmcd.net/artanalysis/?p=1131

    I don't know a lot about Photography [or even Graphic Design] but I know a bit about Art

    Nearly there. Could have used a better image for the top of the cube....
