MWW Artwork of the Day (4/3/22)M.C. Escher (Dutch, 1898-1972)Bond of Union (April 1956)Lithograph, 23.3 x 33.9 cm.The Dutch artist Maurits C. Escher was many things in his lifetime – a draftsman, book illustrator, tapestry designer, and muralist – but it was his oft-reproduced lithographs and etchings that earned him his lasting worldwide reputation, and revealed a fascinating imaginative life that lurked beneath the surface of a seemingly uneventful and conventional exterior life. Escher on this work: “Two spirals merge and portray, on the left, the head of a woman and, on the right, that of a man. As an endless band, their foreheads intertwined, they form a double unity. The suggestion of space is magnified by spheres which float in front of, within and behind the hollow images”. -- source link
