By Burkard Polster. Foreword by John Langdon. To Amaze and Entertain.
Intriguing eye teasers and brain twisters, this collection is filled with visual conundrums from several masters of incredible ambigrams. Artists such as M.C. Escher, Scott Kim and Gustave Verbeek are represented along with modern day tattoo and graffiti artists. This book celebrates ambigrams and their numerous non-verbal cousins which point the way into imaginary worlds. The most exciting new work in this field is pushing ambigrams into further dimensions--sometimes 3-D, sometimes virtual. Packed with exciting images with multiple meanings that challenge the laws of nature, baffle the eye, and explanations that take the mystery out of it.
