This e-book traces the upward push of the 3D spectacle, from 19th-century stereoscopy to contemporary three-D filmmaking and works of art. This ebook follows the advancement of 3-d photography over the decades, showing how the exercise has advanced and, sarcastically, returned to its most primary form of expression. Pursuing a career-lengthy obsession, author Britt Salvesen explores the origins and effect of the stereoscope, offering historic snap shots through Jules Duboscq, Oskar Fischinger, Salvador Dalí, and others. She strains the discovery to the sunrise of movie, and then to its submit-World War II iterations, such as the ViewMaster, lenticular printing, and holography. Readers learn how 3-d images became incorporated into the work of such artists as John Baldessari, Dan Graham, and Andy Warhol. Encompassing more than a hundred years of innovation and experimentation, and masking a huge range of genres, artists, and bureaucracy–from state-of-the-art perceptual experimentation to famous cinema–this quantity shows how the mystery of 3D pics continue to be appealing to 21st-century artists and audiences. Each book includes 2 sets of glasses (one stereoscopic and one anaglyph), to decorate readers’ appreciation of the possibilities in this multi-dimensional form of artistic expression.Published in association with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
