{"product_id":"76813-illusion","title":"ILLUSION","description":"Creating works that are indistinguishable from reality has always been a central artistic challenge. With around 150 works ranging from Old Masters to the present day, the exhibition and catalogue show that \"illusion\" means far more than mere optical deception. In view of the power of illusionistic images and current debates about \"fake news\" and artificial intelligence, they also shed light on today's image-saturated society. Through introductory essays, the catalogue examines the different facets of the concept of illusion and presents the trans-epochal exhibits in the context of their creation. Jan Baptist Weenix meets Ron Mueck or Elmgreen \u0026 Dragset, Jean-Léon Gérôme meets Cindy Sherman. Literary excerpts and quotes from Ovid, William Shakespeare, André Breton, Bertolt Brecht or Jean Baudrillard illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of the theme.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49563474133256,"sku":"9783775758451","price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775758451_78d9a377-313a-468c-a7af-67d44e1dbb6c.jpg?v=1744288859","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/76813-illusion","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
