The division of waters (1925). Woodcut.

One of Escher's earlier works (part of the "Seven days of creation" series). I really like it for its stunning representation of volume, especially considering the technique used. It's a woodcut printed in black ink, so there are no shades, only black and white. It's pretty amazing...

You are welcome. It's weird that it doesn't show, I reloaded the picture, is it working now?

Samira said...

Yes, it's working. I agree with you: it's very impressive the dimensionality he achieved here, considering it's just two colors. Hurray to MC!
