"Artist and designer Isabelle de Borchgrave creates exquisite paper dresses evoking high fashions from the courts of the Medici to the legendary Fortuny silks of the early twentieth century. She cuts, folds, glues, and paints her paper costumes with imagination and exceptional mastery, creating the illusion of lace from Bruges, Renaissance-era brocade, and delicate silk a la Pompadour. Their historical authenticity, combined with their startling realism, caused an overnight sensation when they were first shown in France in 1998 as "Papiers a la Mode." Since then, the dynamic, light-hearted collection has traveled all over the world to critical and popular acclaim." "Paper Illusions does full justice to de Borchgrave's magical workshop, where humble art materials are transformed into shimmering visions of beautiful clothing and luxurious living. Paper, author Barbara Stoeltie reminds us, possesses "the power to attract and enchant us, to direct our lives and change our course, to teach us, to influence our opinions, and to mark our daily existence with its imposing presence." In Rene Stoeltie's vivid photographs, figures from the history of style made from this magical medium seem to breathe in atmospheric rooms, while details of color, pattern, and form jump off the page. Their book is a celebration of creativity, wit, and elegance."--Jacket.

The art of deception that Cornelius Gijsbrechts perfected at the court of Denmark around 1670 is one of the most dazzling feats of visual trickery in the history of European painting. Although the artist himself is a mysterious figure, his pictures not only delight with their illusions, but also force viewers to consider the nature of the real world and the power of art.
