Description
M.C. Escher's Day and Night puzzle consists of 1000 pieces and is sized 26 inches by 19 inches.
"Long before I discovered in the Alhambra an affinity with the Moors in the regular division of the plane, I had recognized this interest in myself. At first I had no idea at all of the possibility of building up my figures. I did not know any "ground rules" and tried, almost without knowing what I was doing, to fit together congruent shapes that I attempted to give the form of animals...My experience has taught me that the silhouettes of birds and fish are the most gratifying shapes of all for use in the game of dividing the plane. The silhouette of a flying bird has just the necessary angularity, while the bulges and indentations in the outline are neither too pronounced nore too subtle. In addition, it has a characteristic shape, from above and below, from the front and the side...This most fascinating aspect of the division of the plane...The dynamic equilibrium between the motifs...has led to the creation of numberous prints. It is here that the representation of opposutes of all kinds arises. For us not one led naturally to a subject such as Day and Night by the double function of the black and the white motifs? It is night when the white, as an object, shows up against the black as a background, and the day when the black figures show up against the white."*
