Puddle 1952

"Puddle" is a 1952 woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his exploration of impossible spaces and visual paradoxes. This artwork depicts a seemingly ordinary puddle reflecting a forest scene, but upon closer inspection, the puddle's edges reveal a complex, interconnected pattern that defies logic, challenging the viewer's perception of reality. Escher's masterful use of perspective and tessellation creates a captivating illusion, blurring the lines between the real and the imagined, characteristic of his artistic style.
