"GRAVITY" by M.C. Escher

FYI: "Gravitation (also known as Gravity) is a mixed media work by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher completed in June 1952. It was first printed as a black-and-white lithograph and then coloured by hand in watercolour.  It depicts a nonconvex regular polyhedron known as the small stellated dodecahedron. Each facet of the figure has a trapezoidal doorway. Out of these doorways protrude the heads and legs of twelve turtles without shells, who are using the object as a common shell. The turtles are in six coloured pairs (red, orange, yellow, magenta, green and indigo) with each turtle directly opposite its counterpart."

This is a print taken from a vintage book. There may/may not be an image and/or text on the back.

Measure 11 x 7.75" inches.

FYI: "Maurits Cornelis Escher’s passion for the graphic arts started at the age of seven. The legendary man that we know now as one of the most famous graphic artists of the world didn’t follow through with his childhood dream until his mentor and friend, Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita reignited his passion. However, the biggest obstacle that stood between him and his passion was his father. We all know how that played out; as he went on to become one of the greats. What’s interesting is how M.C. Escher attained his place in people’s minds."
