Eye 1946 by M.C. Escher, Mezzotint and drypoint, shows his own eye, which was greatly magnified by a convex shaving mirror. The center of his pupil reflects a skull. He is teasing us with the one who watches over all of us, the fate of each of us, death.
Maurits Cornelis Escher (1897-1972), was a Dutch
graphic artist known for his unique and fascinating works of art that
explore and exhibit a wide range of mathematical ideas and geometric
principles: impossible
constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations, mosaics of repetitive designs in which positive and
negative images interconnect and sometimes blend into one another.
