Itβs mind-boggling imagining someone sitting there and coming up with something like this. Seems like the sort of art youβd need an AI to generate.
What was the inspiration behind the art style? Looks very 1960s to me
Escher was first inspired by the tessellated patterns of the Alhambra in Spain during his travels in the 1930s, and the geometric, some would say mathematical, style was prominent through the 1960s. The woodcut Smaller and Smaller was done in 1956. You could almost say he influenced the art of the 60s, more than the other way around.
i feel like i can zoom in forever
Ah, my namesake artist!
