More: a set of diagrams on different types of printing; a drawing of a cliff in Nonza, Corsica, from 1928; Belvedere, 1958, one of Escher's impossible buildings, which I liked particularly because of the historical dress; and a selfie at the selfie wall meant to emulate Escher's Hand With Reflecting Sphere self-portrait. #FenimoreArtMuseum #EscherAtFenimore #Art

Last week, I walked through #EscheratFenimore with my mother. I liked everything, but there were a few faves! A portrait of Jetta, Escher's wife, from 1925; the lute from XXIV Emblemata, 1931 (translation of the text: "Do you pine for happiness and muted song? The chords of your youth will resound for centuries."); and the Second and Sixth Days of Creation, 1925 and 1926, respectively. #FenimoreArtMuseum #Art

@sps Too many favorites to pick from, but I do really like this 1834 folk art portrait of Joseph and Sarah Ann Emery, attributed to Joseph Davis. I've become attached to the whole "professional folk artist" genre and this example in particular is very sweet. And that shade of blue!
