Artwork image file Castrovalva.jpg title Castrovalva artist M. C. Escher year 1930 type Lithography Lithograph height 53 width 42.1 DISPLAYTITLE Castrovalva M. C. Escher Castrovalva is a Lithography lithograph print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher , first printed in February 1930. Like many of Escher s early works, it depicts a place that he visited on a tour of Italy . It depicts the Abruzzi village of Castrovalva Abruzzi Castrovalva , which lies at the top of a sheer slope. The perspective is toward the northwest, from the narrow trail on the left which, at the point from which this view is seen, makes a hairpin turn to the right, descending to the valley. In the foreground at the side of the trail, there are several flowering plants, grasses, ferns, a beetle and a snail. In the expansive valley below there are cultivated fields and two more towns, the nearest of which is Anversa degli Abruzzi , with Roccacasale Casale in the distance. In Popular Culture In 1982 the name Castrovalva was used in Castrovalva Doctor Who a story in the BBC television series Doctor Who . The storyline also relied heavily on recursion , a favorite theme in Escher s later and more famous works, and used ideas taken from Belvedere M. C. Escher Belvedere , Ascending and Descending , and Relativity M. C. Escher Relativity to trap the protagonists in the city of Castrovalva. The comic Kingdom of the Wicked is set in an imaginary world named Castrovalva. See also Printmaking Derivative works Escher s work was a source of ideas for a number of related works.

Artwork image file Escher Puddle.jpg title Puddle artist M. C. Escher year 1952 type woodcut height metric 24 width metric 31.9 metric unit cm Puddle is a woodcut print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher , first printed in February 1952. Since 1936, Escher s work had become primarily focused on Paradox paradoxes , tessellation and other abstract visual concepts. This print, however, is a realistic depiction of a simple image that portrays two perspectives at once. It depicts an unpaved road with a large pool of water in the middle of it at twilight. Turning the print upside down and focusing strictly on the reflection in the water, it becomes a depiction of a forest with a full moon overhead. The road is soft and muddy and in it there are two distinctly different sets of tire tracks, two sets of footprints going in opposite directions and two bicycle tracks. Escher has thus captured three elements the water, sky and earth. See also Three Worlds Printmaking Sources Locher, J.L. 2000 . The Magic of M. C. Escher . Harry N. Abrams, Inc. ISBN 0 8109 6720 0.

Escher year 1946 type Lithography lithograph height 28 width 44.5 Italic title Magic Mirror is a lithograph print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in January, 1946. It depicts a mirror standing vertically on wooden supports on a tiled surface. The perspective is looking down at an angle at the right hand side of the mirror. There is a sphere at each side of the mirror. The main focus of the image is a procession of small griffin winged lion sculptures which emerge from the surface of the mirror and trail away from it in single file. Both the angular reflection of the tiles and the offset between the reflection of the sphere in front of the mirror and the sphere behind it prove it is a mirror. Yet the reflection of the griffin procession continues to emerge from behind the mirror. The griffin processions of both sides loop around to the front and enter a Tessellation tessellated pattern on the tile surface. See also Reptiles M. C.

Lloyd in the mid 1990s. It was designed mostly as a research and teaching vehicle. The basic view of programming exhibited by Escher and related languages is that a program is a representation of a theory in some logic framework , and the program s execution computation is a deduction from the theory. The logic framework for Escher is Alonzo Church s simple theory of types . Escher, notably, supports I O through a monadic type representing the outside world , in the style of Haskell programming language Haskell . One of the goals of Escher s designers was to support meta programming , and so the language has comprehensive support for generating and transforming programs.

No footnotes date April 2009 Artwork image file Escher s Reptiles.jpg title Reptiles artist M. C. Escher year 1943 type Lithography lithograph height 33.4 width 38.5 Italic title Reptiles is a Lithography lithograph printmaking print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in March, 1943. It depicts a desk on which is a drawing of a Tessellation tessellated pattern of reptiles. The reptiles come to life and crawl around the desk and over the objects on it to eventually re enter the drawing. Although the desk is covered with ordinary objects, there is a metal dodecahedron which the reptiles climb over. Although only the size of small lizards, these reptiles appear to have tusks and the one standing on the dodecahedron blows smoke from its nostrils. Like many of Escher s works, this image was intended to depict a paradox ical and slightly humorous concept with no real philosophical meaning. There were, however, many popular misconceptions about the image s meaning. Once a woman telephoned Escher and told him that she thought the image was a striking illustration of reincarnation . The most common myth revolves around a small book on the desk with the letters JOB printed on it. Many people believed it to be the biblical Book of Job , when in fact it was a book of JOB rolling papers JOB brand cigarette papers. The lithograph was used by rock band Mott the Hoople as the sleeve artwork for their Mott the Hoople album eponymous first album , released in 1969.

Artwork image file Escher Snakes.jpg title Snakes artist M. C. Escher year 1969 type woodcut height metric 49.8 width metric 44.7 metric unit cm Italic title Snakes is a woodcut print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in July 1969. It depicts a disc made up of interlocking circles which grow progressively smaller towards the center and towards the edge. There are three snakes laced through the edge of the disc. Snakes has rotational symmetry of order 3 number 3 , comprising a single wedge shaped image which is repeated three times in a circle. This means that it was printed from three blocks which were rotated on a pin to make three impressions each. Close inspection reveals the central mark left by the pin. The image is printed in three colours green, brown and black. In several earlier works Escher explored the limits of infinitesimal size and infinite number, for example the Circle Limit series, by actually carrying through the rendering of smaller and smaller figures to the smallest possible sizes. By contrast, in Snakes , the infinite diminution of size and infinite increase in number is only suggested in the finished work. Nevertheless, the print shows very clearly how this rendering would have been carried out to the limits of human visibility. This was Escher s last print.

Artwork image file Escher s Relativity.jpg title Relativity artist M. C. Escher year 1953 type Lithography lithograph height metric 27.7 width metric 29.2 metric unit cm Relativity is a Lithography lithograph print by the Netherlands Dutch artist M. C. Escher , first printed in December 1953. It depicts a world in which the normal laws of gravity do not apply. The architectural structure seems to be the centre of an idyllic community, with most of its inhabitants casually going about their ordinary business, such as dining. There are windows and doorways leading to park like outdoor settings. Yet all the figures are dressed in identical attire and have featureless bulb shaped heads. Identical characters such as these can be found in many other Escher works. In the world of Relativity , there are actually three sources of gravity, each being orthogonal to the two others. Each inhabitant lives in one of the gravity well s, where normal physical laws apply. There are sixteen characters, spread between each gravity source, six in one and five each in the other two. The apparent confusion of the lithograph print comes from the fact that the three gravity sources are depicted in the same space. The structure has six stairways, and each stairway can be used by people who belong to two different gravity sources. This creates interesting phenomena, such as in the top stairway, where two inhabitants use the same stairway in the same direction and on the same side, but each using a different ... are certainly unusual and add to the surreal effect of the picture.
