I've got a big book of his work. Some really cool stuff in there. I especially like the ones of spheres and other mirrored surfaces.

He used a Pseudoscope and a lot of his artwork was inspiried by it.

Quote:

How does it work?

The Pseudoscope, or Phantascope as it is also called, offers an extraordinary window into another world. Whereas stereoscopic depth perception is the result of fusing the different images received by the two eyes, pseudoscopic perception is the result of switching the inputs to the eyes before they are fused, so that the right eye receives information normally received by the left eye, and the left eye receives information normally received by the right eye.

The pseudoscope does to front and back what a mirror does to left and right. This means that foreground becomes background and visible background becomes foreground, or more simply, background advances, foreground recedes.

So when you view objects with this scope, the convex becomes concave. So a brick lying on the ground appears to be a brick-shaped hole sunk into the ground. A tree turns inside out as it were - it's front branches appear at the back, whilst the back branches come out in front, hanging or suspended in mid-air as their support is eclipsed by branches in front.

The scope will suggest to the viewer that a person's face is hollow or concave but your brain refuses to accept such nonsense and so peoples' heads merely appear odd or uncomfortable to look at. It is best then to choose to look at a landscape or tree or anything which may suggest ambiguous perspective.

Most people's senses have spent many years in cooperative research, forming an important and practical notion of what the world is like. This object overlaps that one, therefore it is in front; this object is bigger so probably it is closer, etc. The Pseudoscope overturns many of these orthodox perceptions, and re-structures a visual world rich in conjecture and opportunity.

It is Escher, and I think it's called Metamorphosis II.

I uploaded a bunch of his pieces here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5075604/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1

M.C.E.  ROX....!  :thumbup:    He was one of the first artists I ever got into....
A few of his books line the boxes of books in my spare bedroom....  :smirk:

Also to be noted that the pieces he made with the interlocking opposing fish and such is called the division of the plane....
There is a little science to it, but I don't remember specifics....

What blows my mind is that his pieces are all prints. They are carved in wood or metal, inked, and printed upon paper.
