Initial T 1931

"Initial T" is a 1931 woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his intricate designs and exploration of impossible spaces. This artwork features a stylized letter "T" formed by a series of vertical lines, intersected by two horizontal lines. The lines are hatched in a manner suggestive of a fire burning within the structure, reflecting Escher's early interest in geometric shapes and patterns. The contrasting light and dark areas create a dynamic tension, hinting at the later development of his more complex illusions.
