The artwork, titled “Sunflowers,” was created by M.C. Escher in the year 1918. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of flower painting.
The artwork features a sunflower that has been rendered in a highly stylized and abstract manner, emphasizing sharp contrasts and intricate line work. The petals and elements of the sunflower exhibit a dynamic form, intertwining in an almost surreal and imaginative fashion. The use of stark black and white enhances the dramatic and expressive nature of the composition, characteristic of the Expressionist style. This depiction not only captures the essence of the sunflower but also transforms it into a visually complex and evocative form.
