Belvedere, lithograph, 1958

“In the foreground, bottom left, is a sheet of paper on which the edges of a cube have been drawn. Two circles indicate the places where edges cross each other. Which edge is in front, which is behind? Front and back at the same time is in a three -dimensional world is not possible and therefore cannot be depicted. But an object can be drawn that represents a different reality from above than from below. The boy sitting on the bench has such a cube-like absurdity in his hands. He looks thoughtfully at the impossible object and is apparently unaware that the belvedere behind him has been built in the same impossible way. On the floor of the lower platform, i.e. indoors, there is a ladder, along which two people are busy climbing. But when they arrive one floor higher, they are back in the open air and have to enter the building again. Is it any wonder that no one in the group cares about the fate of the prisoner in the basement, who puts his head through the bars, whimpering?” ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen.
