She investigates Americans' experiences with material forms of visual deception, arguing that encounters with illusory art shaped their understanding of knowledge, representation, & subjectivity between 1790 and 1825. Focusing on the work of the Peale family and the Philadelphia Museum, as well as other Philadelphians, the book explores the range of illusions encountered in public spaces, from trompe l'oeil paintings & drawings to ephemeral displays of phantasmagoria, 'Invisible Ladies', and other spectacles of deception.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaArt and societyUnited StatesHistory18th centuryArt and societyUnited StatesHistory19th centuryOptical illusions in artVisual perceptionSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory18th centuryVisual perceptionSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Art and societyHistoryArt and societyHistoryOptical illusions in art.Visual perceptionSocial aspectsHistoryVisual perceptionSocial aspectsHistory701/.03097309033Bellion Wendy1026034Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460445703321Citizen spectator2440718UNINA
