Introduction | ||
The emphasis of this presentation is to provide an overview on the linear
perspective and some related procedures covering practical as theoretical
aspects as well.
The linear perspective is best understood on a pure mathematical base. Its principles apply only within limits to the image creation of the human eye, suggesting their use in a rather appropriate than in an absolute manner. Some of the difficulties arising while using the linear perspective are due to its mathematical nature, others relate to the fact, that its terms are frequently used without proper reference, and that some of these terms lack a clear underlying rational or a well conceived definition. Before applying the linear perspective, it should be clarified, that it presents really the most suitable method to use. If high accuracy in regard of proportions of lines and angles is a request, such as for architectural purposes, support by photography and/or technical means such as computers should be envisaged from the begin. If the goal is purely artistic these remedies are better avoided, as entirely “true“ lines frequently interfere negatively with the artistic intention. The strengths and weaknesses of the linear perspective in comparisons with other methods of graphical presentation - including aspects of historical interest - will be addressed in a part actually in preparation.
