Escher, Inception and Perception
The other day when we watched inception, I pointed out to Shyam, the concept of never-ending staircases have been taken from the Penrose stairs and that reminded me of Escher's drawing of "Ascending and descending".... today morning I wanted to revisit his drawings - I used to be quite a fan of his in my school days...the concept of optical illusion so well and thoroughly explored.
When I was in school, I had to spend hours in College Street digging up books of Escher - thankfully there were plenty - but I had to take time to go and find the books. Now: I think about it when having breakfast, switch on the computer with my cup of chocolat (yeah, I have switched to this version from 'chocolate'), type it in google image and voila! I have the whole wealth in front of me - 5 minutes! I love the modern times :)
