| "Earth" (B.382) Escher created the “Four Elements” suite for the noted connoisseurs and patrons, Eugène and Willy Strens. Escher chose as his subjects the ancient elements of earth, air, fire and water; the building blocks of all creation. Each print in the series not only represents a creature from that element, but also is designed with a structure evocative of that force. Here, ants vibrate with the energy of a swarm, and the print jiggles with electricity. |
