Bin die letzten Tage total happy in das Smith-Diagramm reingeschlittert und habe nun eine neue Perspektive auf ne Reihe Kunstwerke von #MCEscher.

On a more positive note and the topic of M C Escher, if you can find a copy of the book “M.C. Escher: His Life and Complete Graphic Work”, I highly recommend buying it.
ISBN 0810981130
It must have been one of the first things I purchased online!
I’ll have to dig it out again when I’m back in Australia. In addition to all the wonderful artwork, I really appreciated the descriptions of his journeys on freighter ships in the 1930s.

#FotoVorschlag "Architektur in Schwarzweiß"... und ich vermisse den genialen M.C. Escher.
EDIT: Sorry ich hab jetzt *Foto*vorschlag verbeutelt. Egal - Escher ist nur einmal im Jahr.. 🎶

Etwas kürzer, aber genauso traumhaft wie der erste Teil: Monument Valley II
Die Rätsel sind eher leicht, die „Geschichte“ bleibt philosophisch nebulös. Das spielt aber kaum eine Rolle, denn die in atmosphärische Akustik getauchten, sich oft tief vor M. C. Escher verneigenden Szenerien sind in einem wundervollen Grafikstil umgesetzt und animiert. Ein mystisch aufgeladenes Kunstwerk, mit Spielmechaniken garniert. Freue mich auf Teil III (derzeit noch auf der Wunschliste).

Art/Typography question: MC Escher signed most of his work with a glyph that looks like this.
I once knew the whole alphabet in this form but am failing to find it online. Can someone help me out?

MIST0624/ATONALOSPREY-BOND_OF_UNITY
Mistigram: this double-wide monochrome #teletext screen by @atonalosprey reproduces #MCEscher’s 1956 lithograph #BondOfUnion, depicting the heads of a man and woman formed entirely by a single thin coiled strip of mutual essence. It was included in the unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection released two years ago.

Happy birthday, M.C. Escher (b. 6/17/1898)!
I grew up fascinated by a book of his art & read 𝘎ö𝘥𝘦𝘭, 𝘌𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘩 in highschool. He left a big impression on me.

M.C. Escher and CP Violation
I’ve had these pictures for quite a while and can’t remember where I got them from, but I used to show them in my lectures on Theoretical Particle Physics when I was in Nottingham to illustrate CP-violation and used them in this morning’s lecture at Maynooth.
The following picture by M.C. Escher is called Day and Night:
If you look at it you can see two kinds of symmetry emerging. One is a kind of reflection symmetry about a vertical axis drawn through the centre of the picture that applies to shapes but not to colour. The other is between black and white. But it is obvious that the picture doesn’t display these symmetries separately: to get a picture unchanged from the original you would have to do the mirror reflection and change black to white (and vice-versa).
The mirror reflection in the image can be taken to represent parity (P). Strictly speaking parity refers to a reflection through the origin in 3D rather than a mirror reflection, but it’s just for illustration. We know that a parity symmetry is violated in weak interactions just as it is in the picture.
The other possible symmetry, between black and white can be taken to represent charge-conjugation (C), the operation that converts particles into anti-particles and vice-versa.
While P is not an exact symmetry of weak interactions, it was long thought that the combination of C and P (CP) would be. Actually it isn’t. The story of the discovery of CP-violation is fascinating but I don’t have time to go into it here. It suffices to say that the Escher print also displays CP violation.
First lets do `C’, i.e. convert black to white and vice-versa. The result is:
Now reflect about the vertical mid-line to illustrate `P’:
If `CP’ were an exact symmetry then that image would be identical to the original, which I reproduce here:
You can see, however, that while some elements of the picture do look the same after this combined operation (e.g. the birds), others (e.g. the buildings at the bottom) do not. Although CP is not an exact symmetry of this picture, it is almost (just like it is in particle physics).
