Rare Archival M.C. Escher Comicon Event Relativity San Diego 1992

Description: In one of Escher's most beloved, most copied, and most parodied images, a series of staircases crisscross in a labyrinth-like interior. At first, the staircases seem to occupy a believable illusionistic space, but upon closer inspection viewers realize that they meet each other at impossible angles. In fact, the shape defined by the three main staircases is a famous 'impossible shape' called a Penrose triangle. What makes this print so mesmerizing is how Escher takes that geometric curiosity as a starting point to create not only one impossible shape but a completely impossible world with multiple simultaneous orientations of gravity. He has not only imaged what the inside of such an unusual building would look like, but has also provided glimpses of an idyllic outside world through the archways at the top of each stairway. Every way is up in this charming world, but so too every way is down as is always the case with Escher, 'reality' changes completely, depending on how you look at it. This authentic M.C. Escher print was showcased at the Comicon in San Diego in 1992. The intricate design and use of optical illusion make this print a stunning addition to any art collection. Created by Escher in 1953, this print is a true testament to his unique and creative style. It is perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors alike, with its vibrant colors and detailed patterns. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of art history. This is an authentic Escher poster, not a knock off. See photos, look at bottom of poster, the info printed there and theBarn, Holland address, make it authentic. Beautiful poster in original condition, no tack holes.
