Gravitation 1952

"Gravitation" (1952) is a lithograph by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his impossible spaces and mathematical explorations in art. This artwork displays Escher's characteristic style, utilizing impossible geometry and perspective to create a visually perplexing and fascinating scene. The central motif of the artwork is a complex, star-shaped structure, populated with numerous appendages and figures. The figures appear trapped within the structure, defying gravity and traditional spatial understanding, contributing to the paradoxical nature of the artwork. Escher's work often explores the interplay of reality and illusion, challenging viewers to reconcile the visual with the impossible.
