#Art | The Weirdness of Escher
“Print Gallery” is a mind-bending image, where a man standing in a gallery looks at a picture of a seaport, in which is depicted the gallery in which he is standing. The perspective curves and distorts, folding back to the gallery where the man stands. Essentially the picture is recursive, and could potentially repeat infinitely. It almost makes you dizzy to look at, but that’s what makes it so interesting. His pictures are so thought-provoking, in that you have to concentrate just to make some kind of sense of them.
