Hand with Reflecting Globe by Escher is very interesting to me because it is very detailed and seems abstract even though it isn't and is just the warping by the spherical shape of the globe. He uses contrast to create shapes in the piece and shadows in the hand to make it seem very realistic. This piece is currently at the Cordon Art Baarn and was first printed in 1935.
Stars is another piece by M.C. Escher. This piece is interesting because of the concept of life and death intertwined. The shapes used are very intricately placed to make it seem like there is a complex form popping out of the page. He uses value to create realism in the piece. This is also at Cordon Art Baarn and was made in 1948.
