Maurits Cornelis Escher is a very talented artist, his artwork is very unique that he has works that are like illusions and his work are very realistic making it twice as unique among other artist.
Relativity 1953 Lithograph.
27.7 cm x 29.2 cm (10.9 in x 11.5 in)
this is one of many Maurits work, i have chosen this one because i personally find this one very interesting as to where it seems that they define gravity. This work has great dark and light colors showing which stairs are going upward and which one goes down thus giving it more of the illusion to where that it does not matter which way the stairs are facing for which the people walking in all direction.This giving me the idea that life has many directions to take but it will always take you somewhere just never ending journeys but it will get confusing sometimes on which direction to go in, thus why i like this art work.

his work is very different or i would like to call it unique, i found this screen print had great colours to bring forward the images in front, with the red as part of the background giving more attention to the Bird people in front it shows how having a bright colour as the background and dark figures in front gives it more attention. The screen print is a very skilled print with the details on the birds faces and the figures wearing suit and ties, Brad Novak is a great leading urban pop artist (aka NBP76).
