A Book of Pictorial Perspective by Gwen White is a mid-century classic that transforms geometry into a thing of beauty. First published in 1955, this book features remarkable illustrations by Gwen Wight, which are printed in a special back-to-back arrangement so that when held up to the light the basic construction and the finished coloured picture are seen together.
Gwen White’s guide unlocks the secrets of depth, proportion and distance with the grace of an artist. Her precise drawings and step-by-step diagrams reveal how to make flat images leap to life — from simple cubes to cityscapes.
