Foreshortening ...
Foreshortening is when an object appears compressed when seen from a particular viewpoint, and the effect of perspective causes distortion. Particularly effective when well rendered on the picture plane to create the illusion of a figure in space.
Foreshortening
A method of drawing so as to produce the illusion of the extension of an object or figure into space. Also the technique of depicting an object lying at an angle of the picture - plane by means of perspective devices (e.g.
foreshortening - The term foreshortening refers to the artistic effect of shortening lines in a drawing so as to create an illusion of depth.
Foreshortening - The diminishing of certain dimensions of an object or figure in order to depict it in a correct spatial relationship.
Foreshortening
The representation of forms on a two-dimensional surface by presenting the length in such a way that the long axis appears to project toward or recede away from the viewer.

foreshortening - A way of representing a subject or an object so that it conveys the illusion of depth — so that it seems to thrust forward or go back into space.

Foreshortening: The technique of representing a three dimensional image in two dimensions using the laws of perspective.
foreshortening The use of perspective to represent the apparent visual contraction of an object or figure that extends backwards from the picture plane at an angle approaching the perpendicular.

Foreshortening: A form of perspective where the nearest parts of an object or form are enlarged so that the rest of the form appears to go back in space; To shorten an object to make it look as if it extends backwards into space.
foreshortening - Perspective applied to a single object in an image, for a three-dimensional effect, which often results in distortion with possible emotional overtones.
Foreshortening: According to the rules of perspective, foreshortening is an illusion created on a two-dimensional surface where objects seem to recede or project into space.

PERSPECTIVE AND FORESHORTENING
Perspective is one of the most important pictorial devices for organizing forms in space.
It was said of Uccello that the discovery of perspective had so impressed him that he spent nights and days drawing objects in foreshortening, and setting himself ever new problems.

The cross of Christ is not in the foreground but in the middle distance, behind a hillock, while those of the thieves are not placed frontally, but obliquely, thus conveying perspectivic foreshortening too.
In the foreground of the painting is Dali, one hand reaching out toward the viewer; he has used a foreshortening technique here so that his arm appears almost in 3D.
Foreshortening: A method of reducing or distorting the parts of a represented object which are not parallel to the picture plane, in order to convey the impression of three dimensions as perceived by the human eye.
The two most characteristic features of perspective are: Objects are drawn smaller as their distance from the observer increases and the distortion of items when viewed at an angle (spatial foreshortening) In art, ...
The Cubist emphasized a flat, two-dimensional surface and rejected the idea that art should imitate nature, refusing traditional techniques such as perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro.

The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening. They wanted instead to emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas.
The perspective of this illusion is centered towards one focal point. The steep foreshortening of the figures, the painted walls and pillars, creates an illusion of deep recession or imaginary space, such as a heavenly sphere or even an open sky.
The Cubist style emphasized the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honoured theories of art as the imitation of nature.
Andrea Mantegna (1430-1506) created unusual vantage points in his paintings, often looking at figures from below or, in Lamentation Of the Dead Christ, from the feet of the subject, requiring deep foreshortening.
The Creation of Adam. Michelangelo. 1508-1512.
Adam's nude body is a good example of disegno, with muted coloring and masterful foreshortening.
An illusion of depth is created on two-dimensional picture surfaces by precise foreshortening and proportioning of the objects, landscapes, buildings and figures that are being depicted, in accordance with their distance from the observer.
foreshortening Reducing or distorting in order to represent three-dimensional space as perceived by the eye, according to the rules of perspective.
