Question

This artist’s early training under graphic artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (“samuel heh-soor-uhn day meh-skeet-ah”) was put to use in the four colored woodblock prints he used for making Double Planetoid. This artist’s final print, Snakes, contains the rotational symmetry common in his late (20[1])period. This artist, seated in his Roman studio, looks directly into the title object in his 1935 painting Hand with (20[1])Reflecting Sphere. (20[7]0[2])Tiles (20[2]0[1])from (20[1])the (20[2])(*) Alhambra inspired (10[2])this artist (10[1]0[1])to create works such as Verbum (10[1])that feature fish or birds with tessellated (10[2])patterns. (10[1])A lithograph by this artist that exemplifies (10[1])Douglas Hofstadter’s notion of the “strange loop” (10[1])depicts two hands drawing each other. For 10 points, name this Dutch artist known for his (10[1])“impossible constructions,” (10[1])such as (10[1])seemingly endless (10[2])staircases. (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[1])
