Although associated with SurrealismSurrealism was a 20th-century philosophical, literary, and artistic movement seeking to channel the unconscious to access the imaginary. Proponents of Surrealism rejected the notion of understanding life in rational and conventional terms in favour of asserting the value of the unconscious mind, dreams, the strangely beautiful, and the uncanny. André Breton, the leader of a group of poets and artists and SymbolismSymbolism was a late 19th-century art movement of French, Belgian, and Russian origin. Poets and fine artists were seeking to represent absolute truths using metaphorical images in reaction against realism and naturalism. Content of both images and poetry were suggestive contents to express mystical ideas, emotions, and states of mind.

What’s the context?

Escher was fascinated by paradoxical recursions, whether he explored them in form such as staircases, waterfalls, and in the self-illustrating hands. In “DrawingDrawing is a foundational art form that involves creating images on a surface, typically paper, using tools such as pencils, pens, and charcoal.

In a later essay, Escher wrote:
“The artist still has the feeling that moving his pencil over the paper is a kind of magic art. It is not he who determines his shapes; it seems rather that the stupid flat shape at which he painstakingly toils has its own will (or lack of will), that it is this shape which decides or hinders the movement of the drawingDrawing is a foundational art form that involves creating images on a surface, typically paper, using tools such as pencils, pens, and charcoal.

Escher has been widely mistaken for a psychedelic dreamer due to his mind-bending imagery. His work first gained recognition in the 1950s due to the emerging appreciating of two very divers subcultures: hippies and mathematicians. Hippies of the 1960s dubbed the artist “godfather of psychedelic art”, a name that Escher was not fond of. He saw himself much more grounded in reality, and continued focusing on geometry as well as experimenting with the possibilities of the depiction of physical landscape.
