Sky and Water I
SKU: 306
Sky and Water is one of Escher's most famous works. The fish fluidly transform into birds in this flowing tessellation. Escher insisted the work wasn't a commentary on evolution or how lives are linked together, but viewers and time argue otherwise.
I often wonder what people in the 1930's thought when they saw this seminal work. Today we are used to illusion, transformation, and computer generated images, the world had never seen anything like the Escher-generated Universe. And, yet, even today it still inspires awe.
This masterpiece is available, please inquire.
