The idea of visual illusions and effects fascinated other artists and intellectuals. The famous Uvur Mongoliin artist Jargalsaihan drew easy structures which worked by using visual illusions. The art historian Esentaish wrote a detailed study on visual effects in art.^[4] The psychologist Enkhtuvshin spent much of his career studying why the mind saw illusions.
