House of Stairs II

I knew there was a House of Stairs but I didn't know there was a House of Stairs II!! MC Escher was just such an obsessive guy wasn't he?

This work would have been so much more amazing if it weren't a repetitive loop. Not that it isn't an insane lithograph. It's incredible! Look at it, he uses a single source of light for the multiple dimensional planes stitched together in one drawing. ...but still the repetitive loop.

House of Stairs II, 1951,  M.C. Escher, lithograph.

You know I actually thought the little critters were cute back in the twelfth grade but now...yugh. Still extraordinary though.
