About Development III

“Development III” is a work of art by M.C. Escher, created in 1939 during the Op Art movement. This artwork falls under the genre of tessellation and is part of Escher’s “Development” series. The artwork is characterized by its intricate patterns and visual illusions.

The artwork showcases a radial tessellation that appears to spiral into the center. The design features interlocking human figures, which gradually transform into geometric shapes toward the middle. The figures are colored in alternating shades of orange, blue, and black, creating a dynamic and complex visual effect. The meticulous arrangement of shapes exemplifies Escher’s expertise in mathematical art and his ability to create depth and motion on a flat surface.
