Binocular rivalry has a longer descriptive history than stereoscopic depth perception both of which were transformed by Wheatstone's invention of the stereoscope. Thereafter, artistic interest in binocular vision has been largely confined to stereopsis. A brief survey of research on binocular contour rivalry is followed by anaglyphic examples of its expression as art. Rivalling patterns can be photographs, graphics, and combinations of them. In addition, illustrations of binocular lustre and interactions between rivalry and stereopsis are presented, as are rivalling portraits of some pioneers of the science and art of binocular vision. The question of why a dynamic process like binocular rivalry has been neglected in visual art is addressed.

双眼竞争比立体深度知觉具有更长的描述历史，两者都因惠斯通立体镜的发明而改变。此后，对双眼视觉的艺术兴趣主要局限于立体视觉。对双眼轮廓竞争的研究进行了简要概述，然后是其作为艺术表达的浮雕示例。竞争图案可以是照片、图形及其组合。此外，还展示了双眼光泽以及竞争与立体视觉之间相互作用的插图，以及一些双眼视觉科学和艺术先驱的竞争肖像。解决了为什么像双眼竞争这样的动态过程在视觉艺术中被忽视的问题。
