The Well
- Sold -
"The Well" is a limited edition of 25 prints pulled from a metal engraving in 1998. The image size is approximately 17" x 22". The work commemorates the 100th anniversary of M.C. Escher's birth and references his life. Escher wrote about his excursions into mathematical art as walks in a beautiful garden where no one else was to be found. The gate at the left of the print separates Escher's garden of the mind from the physical world. The broken mirror at the right shows the small town of Atrani on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Escher loved this area and lived there for a time; he depicts this town in his second and third 'Metamorphose' prints. If a cylindrical mirror is placed on the well in the print, Escher's face appears as if by magic.
Price, matted and framed, with mirror $800 + S&H.
