EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing black and white portrait of the legendary actress Norma Shearer, created by the Japanese artist Keye Luke in 1935, is an optical illusion unlike any other. At first glance, the image may appear to be a typical still photograph of the Hollywood star. But upon closer inspection, four small dots can be seen beneath her eye. When viewed through the narrow slit of one's fingers, or by looking at the print while focusing on the dots, Norma Shearer's face seems to magically appear on a blank wall. Keye Luke, an accomplished artist and actor, was known for his versatility and innovation. This optical illusion portrait is just one example of his unique artistic talent. The image, created in 1935, showcases Norma Shearer's striking features in high contrast, with her piercing gaze and defined cheekbones. The optical illusion technique used in this portrait is a testament to Luke's creativity and mastery of visual art. It invites the viewer to engage with the image in a more interactive way, creating a sense of wonder and delight. As a leading actress of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Norma Shearer graced the silver screen in numerous films, including "The Divorcee," "A Night at the Opera," and "Marie Antoinette." Her timeless beauty and talent continue to captivate audiences today. This optical illusion portrait by Keye Luke is not only a fascinating work of art, but also a testament to the power of perception and the human imagination. By looking beyond the surface of the image, we are transported to a new dimension of visual experience.
