Cubic Space Division
1952, lithograph, 26.6 x 26.6 cm
While exploring ways to represent three-dimensional space, Escher conceived this view, a seemingly endless mechanical construction accentuated by the connecting cubes. Intersecting each other at right angles, girders divide each other into equal lengths, each forming the edge of a cube. In this way space is filled to infinity with cubes of the same size.
