Publisher's Note
The art of illusion is one of the most fascinating aspects of interior design. This portfolio of the world's best contemporary trompe l'oeil artists and muralists brilliantly conveys the thrill of encountering this wonderful art form. Painting techniques and issues of perspective are discussed and illustrated with full-color photos, giving the reader a range of options for creating their own effects. 130 color photos.

Industry Reviews
These three books look at decorative painting on a grand scale. Wrigley provides an overview of the art in her mostly inspirational rather than practical guide. She gives an international look at mural and trompe l'oeil painting in historical and contemporary settings, even including work by Rust. In his own work, Rust details his approach to trompe l'oeil by showing planned and in-situ projects that he has designed. He gives painting and planning advice as well as his sources for the inspiration of his designs. His book will be useful for experienced decoraters. Buckingham offers the amateur more detailed instructions for decorating walls, beginning with a review of necesarry equipment. She provides instructions for smaller projects before approaching larger-scale stenciling work such as painting mosaic floors and trompe l'oeil fireplaces, although stenciling is covered in better detail in Jane Gauss's Stencilling Techniques (LJ 5/15/96). While all are recommended where there is an interest, Buckingham and Rust should be the first choices for how-to collections.
