anamorphosis
- n the evolution of one type of organism from another by a long series of gradual changes
- n a distorted projection or perspective; especially an image distorted in such a way that it becomes visible only when viewed in a special manner
- Indeed, if artists of marked talent ever experimented with what is called cone, cylinder or pyramid anamorphosis, their work has vanished.
- By the 17th century, anamorphosis and other tricks of perspective were common currency.
