The quattrocento master who delighted in visual trickery finally gets his first solo show in the UK
With his experimental use of perspective and trompel’oeil,Carlo Crivelli has often seemed out of step with his quattrocento contemporaries. This show at Ikon, Birmingham (23 February–29 May) – the first monographic display of the artist in the UK – claims him as something of a Surrealist avant la lettre, arguing that his delight in visual trickery, blurring the lines between material and immaterial worlds, finds an affinity in the likes of René Magritte.
