Customer Reviews

Yves Lanthier's book is more then inspirations pieces of work. It's really art.

I bought this book about a year ago and still one of the best books I've ever bought. I strong recommend it for people that really want to see and have a little bit knowledge base about Trompe L'oeil. Astonishing art work with amazing inspirations of real trompe l'oeil even sketches, in the last pages of the book he demonstrates how to paint designs, transfer, basecoat,lights and shadows.Just the best.

Awesome!

This is like a printed gallery of works with huge photos. Truely inspiring stuff! The only insy winsy problem is some of the photos look like they were poor quality, then blown up to fit the page so they're a little fuzzy. But most of them are beautiful! What really blows my mind is this guy was self taught!!

Wooohhhhh! Fantastic, Absolutely beautiful!

I was very impressed reading and viewing the book. It is an amazing book very well illustrated with many examples of this artist/writer artwork. I strongly recommend to anyone to read it either for pleasure or if you want to embellish a wall or ceiling.
