Waterfall Posters by M. C. Escher at AllPosters.com

“Waterfall,” by M.C. Escher (1898 – 1972) gives architecture a reality check. Manipulating perception and perspective, the Dutch artist created three-dimensional artworks containing infinite patterns of waterfalls, stairs, ceilings and floors. His woodcuttings, lithographs and mezzotints, infused with advanced mathematically concepts, were influenced by Spanish tiling patterns and the Italian landscape.

Creativity and logic converge in M.C. Escher’s mind-bending art of mathematical perfection. The Dutch Escher (1898-1972) is the world’s most famous graphic artist; his interlocking figures, shapes and mirror images presented in black and white enhance their implausible dimensions. As a student, Escher disliked math as much as he disliked flat shapes, thereby compelling him to create otherworldly optical illusions. Escher’s pop culture references appear in everything from The Simpsons to The Matrix to music and video games.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using a digital or offset lithography press.

I like to try and make the picture work even though it appears physically impossible. If you do not own any of M.C. Escher's work, I would recommend purchasing at least one piece.
