Près de vingt ans après sa première publication, Trompe l'oeil de Graham Rust est devenu une source inestimable d'images de trompe l'oeil pour les designers d'intérieur, les artistes et les étudiants. Rust a créé plus de 100 nouveaux motifs pour des fresques, des panneaux, des alcôves et des portes, des dessus de portes, des paravents et des planches de cheminée. Comme avec Trompe l'oeil, l'intention de Rust est de fournir des designs à copier autant qu'une inspiration, chaque dessin étant reproduit avec le plus de détails possible. Des images classiques et modernes se mêlent dans cette collection, qui comprend des paysages, des animaux, des poissons et des fleurs, des paniers, des pots, des drapés, des treillis et du feuillage, offrant des idées pour la décoration murale, qu'elle soit réalisée personnellement ou par les mains d'un artiste. Revisiter Trompe l'oeil est un tour de force de croquis, de dessins et d'œuvres complètes - avec plus de 200 illustrations en couleur - destiné à devenir un classique.
