"Perspective is a discipline often set aside when it comes to general art study, though it is essential to master in order to produce any piece of art that is and feels realistic. Framed Perspective 1 equips artists with the technical knowledge needed to produce successful visual storytelling-related drawings: from understanding the basics of the space around us and how we perceive it, all the way to more sophisticated endeavors, like creating entire locations that will become the believable set ups our characters and stories will happen within. As intimidating as perspective may seem, best-selling author and artist Marcos Mateu-Mestre delivers each lesson in an accessible and informative way that takes the mystery out of achieving successful scenes. The book includes extensive step-by-step practical explanations of how to build objects and environments of all sorts, taking that first sketch to a fully rendered artwork with many of his finished illustrations as examples. Sure to be the most popular book in your art library, it will train you to see the world in a way that allows you to enjoy every curve and slope you see in it and, more importantly, translate that vision into art with accuracy and a great sense and understanding of depth and proportion. Your perspective will never be the same!" --Publisher.

Denne bog rummer et udvalg af tekster fra 'Den franske Encyklopædi'. Dette omfattende opslagsværk blev til i perioden 1751-72 med Diderot og d’Alembert som hovedredaktører og er blevet selve symbolet på oplysningsbevægelsen.Encyklopædiens udtalte ambition var at samle al verdens kundskab, teoretisk såvel som praktisk, for at denne kunne spredes til så mange mennesker som muligt i fremskridtet og oplysningens navn. Værket var et kollektivt projekt – intet mindre kunne gøre det, når der var tale om den encyklopædiske ambition at samle hele verdens viden i bogform. Blandt bidragyderne finder vi – ud over de to redaktører – navne som Voltaire og Jaucourt.De udvalgte artikler – med tilhørende plancher – centrerer sig især om oplysningstænkernes opgør med kirke, tradition og politiske uretfærdigheder. Over for en viden baseret på tradition, autoritet, overtro og frygt stillede man sin egen oplyste, sanddruelige og humane viden. På grund af dette stærke oplysningsmotiv og værkets altomfattende karakter lader encyklopædien sig beskrive som oplysningens bibel og som anledning til en række af tidens største kampe om meningsfrihed.
