The Claude Glass
Many are familiar with the Claude glass as a small black convex mirror used by artists and spectators of landscape to reflect a view and make tonal values and areas of light and shade visible. This work studies the device from the 18th century. It explores the uncertainties and anxieties about mirrors, reflections, and their potential distortions.
