The term that describes the optical trick of swelling columns at midpoint, which was used in the design of the Parthenon is entasis.
If you take a look at the ancient Greek columns, you will see that they are a bit wider in the middle - so the column is not completely straight, but rather swells up in the middle so as to "correct the visual illusion of concavity." It was often used by artists in the ancient Greek times.

How was Wheatfield with Crows by Vincent Van Gogh significant to history?
pishuonlain [190]
This painting is significant for art history because it challenged the conventions of landscape painting. It is a representation of a natural scene, but nature itself isn't the real background for the painting. The background is the painter's personality and inner psychological struggle. The wheatfield is strikingly yellow, against the deep blue color of the sky, leaving an impression of uneasiness and agitation, rather than serenity. The scene is an epitome of deep, unresolved mental anxiety, from which there is no way out. The middle road, central to the painting's composition, leads nowhere.
