Art and the Art of Illusion No. 13 Playing With Divided Brushstrokes

Art and the Art of Illusion No 13. Playing With Divided Brushstrokes. What does it really mean to see a work of art? In this series, we go beyond the surface to explore how artists manipulate perception, bend reality, and use illusion as a powerful creative tool. From classical techniques to contemporary practice, each episode takes you inside the studio to examine how visual art works on your mind and emotions — and why nothing in art is ever quite what it seems. This episodes looks briefly at the use of divided brushstrokes by the post impressionists followed by a brief demonstration of the difference between divisionism and tonalism in practice.
