'' is completly different than anamorphosis. The article for anamorphism really describes anamorphosis. Anamorphosis deals with artistic perspectives, whereas anamorphism is a science term.
Below are definitions for anamorphism from Dictionary.com:

I have requested a cite for the claim that catoptric anamorphosis, and the mirrors used to view it, originated in China prior to the 16th century. This claim seems rather dubious to me for several reasons:
I could be wrong. As unlikely as it seems, a single example of Chinese catoptric anamorphic art that is positively dated to earlier than the 16th century (or, in fact, earlier than the 17th century) would prove the claim. But I cannot find any such reference. -- Securiger ( talk) 04:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
This looks like a painting on a canvas viewed from the perspective you would normally view a canvas. Can the article explain how the painting is different? Other than having the illusion of windows it looks to be only a mural, and otherwise unspectacular in terms of being a painting. --04:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I think the wrong installation is being mentioned in the section for contemporary artists, but I'm not sure if I've found any sources reputable enough to cite in the article.
It seems that "3 ellipses for 3 locks" was created in Cardiff in 2007 -- as referenced in this Wikimedia image here and on the artist's own site here.
The installation in Hasselt that is painted onto 99 buildings is called "Trois ellipses ouvertes en désordre" (translated to "Three open ellipses in disorder") according to this contemporaneous article which matches what's on the artist's site. Scdinan ( talk) 13:39, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
