Additional Details: M.C. Escher’s Waterfall is framed in a shiny black metal frame with a 3/8-inch front profile and a 7/8-inch side profile, adding a sleek, modern touch. The overall dimensions are approximately 9.75 x 7.75 x 7/8 inches. The meaning of Waterfall (1961) lies in Escher's exploration of impossible architecture and visual paradoxes. This lithograph presents an illusion of perpetual motion, where water appears to flow uphill before cascading down to its origin, creating a continuous loop. By defying physical laws, Escher invites viewers to question their perception of reality and explore themes of infinity, the impossibility of perpetual motion, and the limits of human logic. Waterfall exemplifies Escher’s mastery in manipulating perspective and his fascination with creating worlds that exist beyond the rules of nature.
