anamorphic
(Of a drawing, painting, sculpture etc) Distorted in such a way that it appears normal when viewed from one specific point or with a special mirror or lens.
Noun: anamorphism.
Perhaps the most famous anamorphic image is the highly distorted skull in Hans Holbein's painting The Ambassadors, which can be properly seen only when viewed from an acute angle. Anamorphic pictures or messages sometimes feature in puzzles for children.
