Description
M.C. Escher's Ascending and Descending puzzle consists of 1000 pieces and is sized 26 inches by 19 inches.
The endless stairs, which are the main motif of Ascending and Descending, were taken from an article by L.S. and Roger Penrose in the February 1958 issue of the British Journal of Psychology.
A rectangular inner courtyard is bounded by a building that is roofed in by a never ending stairway. The inhabitants of these living-quarters would appear to be monks, adherents of some unknown sect. Perhaps it is their ritual duty to climb those stairs for a few hours each day. It would seem that when they get tired they are allowed to turn about and go downstairs instead of up. Yet both directions, though not without meaning, are totally useless.
Two recalcitrant individuals refuse, for the time being, to take any part in this exercise. They have no use for it at all, but no doubt sooner or later they will be brought to see the error of their nonconformity.*
