A Rose is Still a Rose

88 comments

Assignment of the day: first of all download.. errrm... buy Aretha Franklin's song "A Rose is Still a Rose" to get you in the mood, and then look at the optical illusion below. Rose is popular motive in literature, art and romance. Well, optical illusions are tightly connected with art. The image below belongs to "Multiple Meanings" category, and that is only hint you'll get from me. Look at the image, observe it, and try to figure why it's an optical illusion in it's nature. If you noticed, the style is very similar to What Do You See Illusion and Autumn Motives. Probably they all came from the same artist. I believe there were few more similar ones posted in the past, but I can't recall them. Use the search box in the sidebar if you wish, after you download Fergie ringtones from the bottom of the site :P

    nice. i like how the wooden frame around picture is also an impossible object.

    Plus the leaves and even the stem goes beyond the picture.

    the image name gives it away :P
    But before I saw that I still found it and thought it was good.

    Didn't notice it at first, then it just jumped out at me just after loading it. Can't stop seeing it now. Very nice.

    I like how the frame is an Impossible Square too! I also really like the subtleness, as Anon said earlier!

    I like the multiple illusions in this one...I noticed the frame first and then saw the shoes and had to look for more from there.

  21. Blogger Millo 

    It's pure love, i think that the couple kissing its a good symbolism

  22. Blogger Lin (boggart girl)

    I quickly saw the illusion in the rose. Nice and subtle. And then I noticed that the frame itself is an impossible object. Cool.

  27. Blogger Victor 

    Wow!! Yes!! I saw it!! It's cool!

  28. Blogger Michael 

    very cool

    It's easy to see, but it's still a nice ilusion.

    there are many other things going on than just the people in the rose. the rose itself is a picture, yet the stem and the leaves extend beyond the paper. also, both the frame and the arch in the background are impossible objects. very cool.

  36. Blogger Graybaka 

    geeze, that's preatty cool

  37. Blogger Kalthia 

    Very subtle, and sweet.. :)

  38. Blogger Shane 

    apart from the obvious dimension changes in the fore and background (ie-the flower leaves are over the wooden part and bend with the page), you can see that the woman inscribed in the flower has stripped shoes and stockings to get to the guy there too. its good!

  39. Anonymous Anonymous 

    It's very obvious, i saw it in a manner of seconds

  40. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Kindda cool. I think that was So So.

    That's a great painting, the illusion is very easy though, but nice work by the artist.

    I love the very M.C. Escher-esque border in addition to the "inner-beauty"

  45. Anonymous Ellie 

    Oh that's awesome. And really pretty. :) Normally i find them a bit tricky but i got it quite quick, it was subtle but there were some clues too - which was good. Like a bit of a trail.

    That's an amazing one! At first it's just a rose throughh a window, then the rose has the two people kissing, then it looks like it's peeling of like a framed picture! And if you look carefully at the the top windowsil/frame it's an impossible rectange sorta thing too.

    That is just too disgustingly beautiful.
    That woeman flips off her shoes..., stripes off her nylons..., and embraces her lover..., naked.
    Well..., at least it may be a man..., this time.
    Absolutely wonderful.
    We want/need more.

    its soo cute and it works well to

    hint for those stuck: look for two people (kissing) xD

    Nice, impossible objects (frame and twist on background arch), illusions of 3 dimensions and hidden images (I noticed the fallen petals weren't fallen petals first, then thought of why there'd be shoes and discarded stockings before looking back to the rose, which had looked slightly odd to start with) all combined.

    La Vie en Rose was the title of a recent movie about the life of Edith Piaf, a French singer who was famous especially in the 40s and 50s. It is also the title of one of her most famous songs, which is what you should listen to. This poster is particularly appropriate to her life, which was one of passion and oddities.

    it's an illusion bcuz the paper is separated in the frame and the rose's leaves are out of the frame... there is a shoe... then the stemm of the rose is out of the wooden frame
