EX 13 Dimension/Scale/Depth



















ILLUSION OF SPACE

M.C. Escher was the king of illusionist when it came to space and scalse.  In the above drawing by Escher the use of scale creates the illusion that a person is holding a globe with a man in it or that the globe has a mirrored surface where the artist is reflected in. It is all in the eye of the beholder. Yet in the globe the depth of space allows you to see the whole other room that Escher is in.  This is a true illusion of space.
