![]() ![]() ![]() Following the eyes of the lines, it is impossible to see exactly what the impossibility of the existence of such constructions is, but when we look at the whole picture, the inconsistencies are obvious. The plot of Escher's “Waterfall” engraving is built on them - with a quick glance, inaccuracies are not too noticeable, however, on closer examination, the very “impossible reality” that the human brain cannot perceive appears. He himself said that he should consider himself more a scientist than an artist.ĭistorted space, deliberately disturbed when depicting clear geometric constructions, the logic of space is those features of the artist’s work that caused delight among mathematicians of the whole world and connoisseurs of art. Thus, Escher, who was never a physicist or mathematician, spent most of his life with these sciences and those who dealt with them professionally. The engraving as a method of obtaining an image interested him from his youth: some researchers of the artist's creativity believe that the love of creating identical prints and repetitive drawings began to take shape at his time.Īsher Maurits drew his “Waterfall”, based on the Penrose triangle - one of the main impossible figures, about which in 1958 the famous mathematician Roger Penrose wrote an article. This work was painted by Escher in 1961, when the artist for more than a dozen years preferred to create works containing complex geometric shapes. The painting "Waterfall" is made in the technique of lithography - a technique of flat printing, in which the image is transferred from stone to paper. Subsequently, he graduated from the School of Decorative Arts in Haarlem and came to grips with what attracted him the most: graphics, in particular, woodcut, metal, linoleum. Nevertheless, Escher had painting abilities. Geometry was not given to him, as, by the way, was not given to drawing - at least, he received mediocre marks on these subjects. It is noteworthy that Maurits Escher himself was never a brilliant expert in the exact sciences, either in his youth or in a more mature age. However, the works of brilliant graphics, without a doubt, belong to the elite art, ambiguous, but always causing interest.Įscher's engraving Waterfall»- the most famous master's work, often quoted, and illustrations with his image can be found even in mathematical textbooks. His works were not always understood by the public, for which they were repeatedly criticized.
