The artwork titled “Plane Filling Motif with Human Figures,” created by M.C. Escher in 1921, is an exemplar of the Op Art movement and is categorized under the genre of tessellation.
The artwork presents a meticulously arranged pattern of human figures, seamlessly interlocking and creating a continuous, harmonious design typical of tessellation. With a palette dominated by hues of green and orange outlined in robust black, the figures are intricately woven together in a diamond-shaped configuration. Each figure appears to be intricately linked to the others, forming a complex yet coherent visual tapestry. The meticulous attention to symmetry and repetition serves as a testament to Escher’s mathematical precision and artistic ingenuity.
