Liberation 1955

"Liberation" (1955) is a lithograph by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, renowned for his mastery of impossible spaces and optical illusions. This piece showcases Escher's signature style of tessellation, where shapes seamlessly interlock to create a repeating pattern. In this artwork, birds transform into fish as they descend into a scroll, illustrating the interconnectedness of seemingly distinct elements. Escher's work often explored themes of perception, reality, and the nature of space, inviting viewers to question their understanding of the world around them.
