M.C. Escher's Relativity Artwok
Artist: M.C. Escher
Name of Artwork: “Relativity”
Medium: Lithograph http://www.itp.uni-hannover.de/~dragon/stonehenge/escher.jpg Describe:
In this artwork has s and rails coming for different directions, and faceless people walking up and down these twisted stairs. Some of these people are carrying things, for example one is carrying a candle another is carrying a sack. There is a family sitting down for a meal. Lastly there are bars on the wall, doors, flowers, and trees.
Analyze:
There are many elements and principles of design in this artwork however I will be pointing out three of each.
The first element used in this artwork is value this is shown in different shades but median value is the majority of this artwork. The second element is shape, this artwork uses many geometric shapes and very few organic. The last element I will mention is space, this artwork has no one object in front of the other and there also seems to be no negative space in the artwork.
The first principle I will point out is the use of movement, this artwork at first moves yours eyes to the center of the piece even though there is not a lot of detail to the center. The second principle is balance, this art work is asymmetrical because there is no way to divided the artwork so it is equal drawings on both side, however the artwork does not seem to have one side heaver then the other. The last principle I want to point out is the artwork’s use of proportion, everything in this artwork seems to have equal proportion to one another in the sense that no one thing seems to have more oven an importance then another.
Interpret:
I believe that the artist was trying to get the point across that life is always crazy and everyone shares the same path that connects and intertwines. I can think this because of two reasons, the first reason is because the title of the art work is relativity which makes me think that there is no one thing more important than another which is
