The black and white feel brings the surrounding objects to life and adds a dramatic sense of realism to the piece.

The 1964 piece is very much based on a 3D room design with 2D images inserted in between such as a woman in black and white. Inspired by rival artists and the rise of chic luxuries in the 1960s, Richard Hamilton brought you inside the home with many of his works as seen brilliant in Interior II.

It’s a lot to take in but very much worth it when examined closely.

Juxtaposed with 2D objects placed within a chaotic environment, it gives a sense of realism to a fantasized reality. It’s the shading of objects like the mat on the floor or the rolled carpet that give 3D impressions. The Harlequin’s Carnival by Joan MiroĪ lot is going on in Joan Miro’s signature 1925 piece The Harlequin’s Carnival but it is in the details where the painting truly shines.Ĭreated to represent a traditional harlequin’s environment in a surrealist form, the intricate objects shine when viewed at a closer inspection. Giving a real sense of elevation in the landscape as well as replicating natural daylight, this is a 3D piece that excelled and stood out against similar pieces of its era. With the vivid greens of rolling hillsides and muddy paths contrasting beautifully, it’s complemented by dark shading in some areas. Wood’s expertise with shades and textures made many paintings seem like 3D optical illusions. Spring Turning may look like a computer rendering image from the 1990s however it is an original creation first put together in 1936 by Grant Wood. It appeared in all forms of work from the rise of pop art, experimenting with optical illusions in traditional paintings to embrace the change. In a bid to stand out even further from the crowd, some artists broke into the third dimension giving subjects a larger-than-life appeal.

The abstract art movement shifted away from many traditional idealisms, but many still kept to the lore of 2D objects.
