Illusoriness
in visual art, an illusion of the sensual genuineness of the image. Illusoriness may be manifested in the seeming tangibility, corporeality, and volume of objects reproduced on a flat surface and in the three-dimensional, stereoscopic, and airy appearance of the space. The history of art provides many variants of the relationship between the illusory and nonillusory elements in a work of art. Illusoriness devoid of aesthetic sense and treated as an end in itself leads to the naturalistic copying of the visible world. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
