The artwork, titled “Smaller And Smaller,” is by the renowned artist M.C. Escher, created in the year 1956. This piece is associated with the Op Art movement and falls under the genre of tessellation.
“Smaller And Smaller” features a meticulously detailed design formed by an interlocking pattern of fish that gradually reduce in size as they approach the center. The artwork primarily utilizes black and white tones, showcasing intricate geometrical precision and symmetry typical of Escher’s tessellation works. This visual effect creates a dizzying sense of depth and infinity, drawing viewers into a seemingly endless spiral. The elements are carefully balanced, demonstrating Escher’s mastery of mathematical patterns and spatial relations.
