Go, I invite you to a detour to the land of illusion and impossible!
Probably many of you know this artist, but I can not resist the pleasure to bring back your memories ...
These Maurits Cornelis ESCHER. (1898 - 1972)
It combines perfection of execution and imagination. It
abusing our visual senses and plays with our reason.
He invents new spatial representations and new worlds that exist only in the drawing ....
... For "draw is cheating!"
Let yourself be drawn into her world ...
... and agree that you are abusing your senses!
Relativity (1953)
Waterfall (1961)
Ascensing and descending (detail) (1960)

I could not put all his prints here and the selection was difficult.
Also, I strongly advise you (if you like, of course!) To go explore the rest of his work sites referenced.
(In addition you can view them full screen, which is not a luxury to the plethora of detail as some have). Maurits Cornelis ESCHER
was born June 17, 1898 in Leeuwarden, Friesland (NETHERLANDS).
He died at age 73, March 27, 1972, shortly after have completed the masterful woodcut "Snakes".
