Anamorphic art will always impress. Even people who don't see themselves as "art lovers" can appreciate the skill and talent involved in anamorphosis. For those unfamiliar with the term, anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective that reacquires the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point, or use a particular device, to reconstitute the image. Georges Rousse is a perfect example of an anamorphic artist. He creates installations of geometric shapes, text, or designs in public settings by painting walls, floors, ceiling, stairs, etc. Do not be fooled by these photographs, none of these are photoshopped! If you simply stepped to the side of the vantage point, these images would look like a mess of color painted haphazardly in an open space.
