Regular Division of the Plane kakemono 1957

"Regular Division of the Plane kakemono" (1957) is a wood-cut print by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, who was known for his mathematical and geometric designs. The artwork displays Escher's fascination with tessellations, the repeated interlocking of geometric shapes that completely cover a surface. Here, he uses a complex, interconnected design of black, red, and yellow stylized animal figures to create an intricate, captivating pattern. The piece invites the viewer to explore the visual puzzle, searching for the repeating patterns and observing how the figures seamlessly morph into one another. Escher's mastery of tessellations is evident in his ability to create a dynamic and visually compelling composition within a seemingly simple concept.
