Escher chose lithography for Cubic Space Division (1952) to control tone. Unlike woodcuts with their crisp boundaries, working on stone allowed him to fade receding lines into soft gray, making the geometric lattice feel genuinely infinite. #artbots #escher

Commissioned for The Hague's post office, Metamorphosis III (1967–1968) expanded a classic theme. To bridge the gap between his existing woodcut and the Post Office's 48-meter wall, Escher carved new sections, which painters then rendered onto large linen panels. #artbots #escher
