During the history, perception of space in painting is changed from one- and two-dimensional geometric patterns,
that dominate in Paleolithic and Neolithic art, through "hierarchical perspective" and orthogonal axonometry used in
Egyptian painting, Byzantine counter-perspective, Renaissance linear perspective, cubistic polycentrism, perceptive
perspective, to the non-orientable space of abstract painting. Trying to explain 3D-vision as the reconstruction of
3D-image from its 2D-projection, that is in general not unique, we will consider different extreme forms of
perspective (e.g., anamorphoses), or the formation of ambiguous reconstructions of 2D-projections resulting in
visual illusions and impossible figures.
