The artwork titled “Two Bells,” created by M.C. Escher in 1918, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The piece depicts an intricately stylized scene with prominent, sweeping lines that form curvilinear shapes, evocative of bells. The flowing lines create a dynamic composition with a sense of rhythm and movement, which is characteristic of the Expressionist style. The black and white contrast emphasizes the boldness of the forms, leading the viewer’s eye through the undulating, almost abstract landscape. In the lower part of the artwork, the landscape extends with additional flowing lines that suggest hills or waves, contributing to the overall harmonious and visually engaging composition.
