Why is Hand with Reflective Sphere so famous?
1 Answer
Hand with Reflective Sphere is so famous because it demonstrates artist M.C. Escher's skill at fooling the eye. Since he produced the print in January 1935, viewers have been intrigued by the realistic distorted reflection visible in the sphere. In addition, some people see a deeper meaning in the work related to how people distort their own self-images. Shop a selection of M.C. Escher art on 1stDibs.
