About Twon Intersecting Planes Colour

The artwork, titled “Two Intersecting Planes Colour,” was created by M.C. Escher in 1952 and represents the Op Art movement. This piece exemplifies the genre of tessellation, in which intricate, interlocking shapes form a mathematically precise pattern.

The artwork employs a tessellation of bird and fish shapes, meticulously arranged to create a continuous, interwoven pattern. Each plane, comprised of either fish or birds, intersects seamlessly with the other, forming a visually engaging and complex structure. The color choices enhance the distinction between the two planes, allowing viewers to appreciate the meticulous arrangement and detailed execution characteristic of Escher’s work. The intricate balance of the shapes and the optical illusion they create is a testament to Escher’s mastery of mathematical artistry and visual perception.
