So, I'm going to have a little look into the use of 'perspective' in art - at those who made the rules, and those that break them... ( just cant seem to label works at the mo, blogger website being a bit too stupid...naughty technology)

'Relativity' Escher M C Escher- Many of his images contain several vanishing points and an exaggerarted three point perspective that creates impossible spaces Cubism - Paintings that depict real people, places or objects, but not from a fixed viewpoint. Instead it shows many parts of the subject at one time, viewed from different angles, and reconstructed into a composition .  David Hockney- Joiner photographs, interested in altering the way we make pictures. Created photo-collages, from a series of photograph taken from different perspectives and at slightly different times, similar results as cubism.  Donatello- helped develop new tool of 'linear ' perspective, 'The Feast of Herod' the earliest surviving example of scientific perspective, uses a “vanishing point”, an imaginary single point on the page in which all the parallel lines meet. http://www.ski.org/CWTyler_lab/CWTyler/Art Investigations/PerspectiveHistory/Perspective.BriefHistory.  Giotto- One of the first uses of perspective was in Giotto’s ‘Jesus Before the Caïf’. Depth conveyed by either a 'non-geometric construction principle or a different form of construction that did not involve the use of vanishing points.' Mantegna - Created illusion of 3D image on flat 2D ceiling, 'Ceiling of the Camera degli Sposi' 1465-74 example of di sotto in su (seen from below)  Byzantine Art - perspective drawing where the further away the objects are, the larger they are drawn, vanishing point near the viewer, it possibly shows God looking upon the viewer, for example, rather than the viewer looking upon God. 'As God is omnipresent his view converges from everywhere, rather than scanning out from a point.'  Partick Hughes - Fascinated by the illusion of perspective |
