FISH’S-EYE VIEW

A poet once wished for the gift to see ourselves as others see us. An artist has achieved it. Wilfrid Swancourt Bronson, of New York, has cultivated the ability to see things from the fish’s point of view, taking into account the squeezed perspective one gets through the little “window” in the water directly overhead, the “breaking” of poles sticking into the water by refraction, and the dead mirror-surface of the “top” of the water outside the limited cone through which the upper world of the air is visible.
