M.C. Escher Flag - Concave and Convex 1955

Escher Cube Flag

At the moment the artwork of M.C. Escher has hit a high note in classrooms across America - honored by art and math teachers. M.C. Escher takes two subject areas from opposite poles. Math is linear, objective as a matter of fact logical way pallet, while art is a limitless expression equated with the non-logical in the heart of the beholder.
What is it that teachers and young adults like about his mind bending artwork?


To the right is a close up of the flag from his lithograph Concave and Convex 1955. The flag features three blocks reminiscent of the old Q*bert game neatly placed in a 'hexagonal box.' However the blocks can shift position within the mind's eye. It can look like black blocks facing towards to top, black blocks facing towards the bottom, like a six pointed star in two dimensions? If you don't see it give it a moment.

Maurits Cornelius Escher is relatively modern artist from the 20th century who lived from 1898-1972.

Is the flag hanging in under the archway? Or is it hanging over a road? I guess it all depends on your point of view.

Of vexillological delight is the hexagonal flag in the corner.
