In the lithograph "Waterfall," the artist
demonstrates how our vision can play tricks on us. It shows an
apparent paradox where water from the base of a waterfall appears to run
downhill before reaching the top of the waterfall.
Maurits Cornelis Escher (1897-1972), was a Dutch
graphic artist known for his unique and fascinating works of art that
explore and exhibit a wide range of mathematical ideas and geometric
principles: impossible
constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations, mosaics of repetitive designs in which positive and
negative images interconnect and sometimes blend into one another.
