As someone who has (allegedly) taken LSD in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and watched the flowers in various paintings blossom right before my eyes, I recognize the visual illusions created by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro in “Beauty.” Let’s leave it at that.
As arts communities around the world experience a time of challenge and change, accessible, independent reporting on these developments is more important than ever.
Please consider supporting our journalism, and help keep our independent reporting free and accessible to all.

What a trip.
That’s a buttload of Bouguereau!
This is great! I couldn’t help myself from wanting to see a 2nd version with Terry Gilliam style animations.
I don’t agree with the end! Otherwise magnificent technique, very inspiring
Did you really feel the need for the whole “look at me, I (allegedly) dropped acid in the MoMA!” bit? Can you think of anyone who really gives two shits either way?
Hypnotic. Thank you.
Awesome – made me realise how much, and how little, is captured in paintings and photographs. One minute movement makes a whole lot of difference. Amazing!
Even the not creepy parts were creepy.
