I am also a fan of Escher


Artist: MC Escher
Title: Sky and Water
Type: Woodcut

I really love his compositions, especially this woodcut work. Escher's works were full of philosophy, like this piece, which shows the connection between the sky and water, like how the horizon of the sky meets with that of the water when we look out into the sea. Also, Escher portrayed the predator-prey relationship between the bird which exists in the sky and the fish which exists in water. Also, I like how he experimented with tesselations. He had the patience to slowly discover which portions of say a drawing of a bird he should cut and paste to form a fish. He really put in a lot of effort to succeed in tesselating.

Kudos to him!
