Charles Matton (1931-2008) was a French painter  sculptor  photographer  stage designer  screenwriter  and producer. An extraordinary  multifaceted artist  Matton explored the many possibilities of visual and written expressions  only to become more aware of their limitations. His desire to create reality--and not merely represent it--led him to design  build  paint  and weave in order to reconstitute over 200 striking three-dimensional scenes of our everyday life  drawing from imaginative literary fiction  trompe loeil techniques  mirror illusions  and Dutch and American realist painting. His miniature boxes or \"space reconstructions\" will be featured at the exhibition Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities (June 7-September 18  2011) at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666139373621,"sku":"ByrdShop_2080200879","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9782080200877.jpg?v=1782420634","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/charles-matton-enclosures-9782080200877","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
