Για το έργο
Three Intersecting Planes, a 1954 woodcut by M. C. Escher, belongs to Washington’s National Gallery of Art. Repeated diamonds and trapezoids occupy a triangular field. Areas of hatching alternate with solid colour, suggesting faces set at different angles. Orange and black inks were applied from two separate blocks.

Στη ζωή του καλλιτέχνη: Maurits Cornelis Escher
Όλη η ζωή1954
An exhibition for the Mathematical Congress
In 1954, for the International Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam, an exhibition of Escher’s work organised by N. G. de Bruijn opened at the Stedelijk Museum; Roger Penrose and H. S. M. Coxeter were deeply impressed by his intuitive grasp of mathematics. The exhibition took up so much time that in 1954 Escher made only two works.
27 April 1955
Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau
On 27 April 1955 Escher was made a Knight (fifth class) of the Order of Orange-Nassau; in 1967 Queen Juliana raised him to the rank of Officer.
1956–1960
The Penroses and “impossible figures”
“House of Stairs” (1951) attracted the interest of the mathematician Roger Penrose and his father, the biologist Lionel Penrose; in 1956 they published a paper on impossible objects and later sent Escher a copy. He replied, admiring their continuously rising flights of steps, and enclosed a print of “Ascending and Descending” (1960); he went on to use the Penrose triangle repeatedly, notably in “Waterfall” (1961).
