EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photographic print, created in 1935 by the Japanese American artist Keye Luke, presents an optical illusion that brings the face of Maurice Chevalier to life. At first glance, the image appears to be a simple black and white portrait of the famous French actor. However, upon closer inspection, four small dots arranged between Chevalier's eyes become the key to an extraordinary visual experience. By focusing on these dots and relaxing the eyes, viewers can project Chevalier's image onto a blank wall or surface, creating a striking and seemingly three-dimensional effect. This ingenious trick, known as autostereography, was a popular form of entertainment and art during the mid-20th century. Keye Luke, an accomplished artist, actor, and director, was known for his versatility and creativity. Born in China in 1904, he emigrated to the United States in 1913 and studied art at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. He went on to work as a portrait artist and later became a successful actor, best known for his role as the wise and loyal sidekick, Archie Lee, in the Charlie Chan film series. The optical illusion of Maurice Chevalier's face, created by Keye Luke, is a testament to his artistic ingenuity and the power of perception. It invites us to look beyond the surface and discover the magic hidden within the image, making it a fascinating and enduring work of art.
