The Theory and Practice of Perspective

"The Theory and Practice of Perspective" by G. A. Storey is a manual from the early 1900s that teaches about perspective, especially for artists like painters, sculptors, and architects. It's all about learning the rules of perspective to make art look real. The book starts by saying perspective is super important in art, pointing to famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Turner. Storey thinks art students don't study perspective enough and says understanding it is a must for art that looks good. He pushes artists to really get how things fit together in space when they make art, whether it's a big scene or small details, so their art makes sense and feels complete, focusing on true comprehension in any and artistic endeavor.
