It's said that a great piece of art reveals new facets of meaning each time you look at it. Since we're impatient and lazy, we asked you to open up some new facets for us.

House of Stairs. November 1951 Lithograph "House of Stairs" has an unusual perspective. If the grid lines for this drawing were visible, one would see a network of curved vertical lines that met in the centre at three points along a vertical axis. The vanishing points have various functions for the Curl-Ups in the stairwell. The curved lines of the drawing allowed Escher to make opposite dimensions (above, below) flow into each other.

my daughter brought home this fun artwork she did in math class...They were learning about tessellation and this is where I pretend to know something about math...which I do not. (i had to google tessellations)

La Cathédrale Engloutie (The Drowned Cathedral). January 1929 Woodcut

"Three Worlds" (1955) by M.C. Escher Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972) was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. Despite wide popular interest, Escher was for long somewhat neglected in the art world, even in his native Netherlands. He was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. In the twenty-first century, he became more widely appreciated, with exhibitions across the world.
