Explore the Geometric Complexity of Blowball II by M.C. Escher
Experience the profound intersection of mathematics and nature with Blowball II, a seminal work by the Dutch master Maurits Cornelis Escher. Originally executed as a woodcut in 1943, this piece exemplifies Escher’s unparalleled ability to find structural order within the organic world. At RedKalion, we have meticulously reproduced this masterpiece as a museum-quality fine art print, ensuring every delicate filament of the dandelion is rendered with absolute clarity.
Art Historical Context: Nature’s Mathematical Blueprint
In Blowball II, Escher moves beyond his better-known impossible architectures to focus on the radial symmetry of a dandelion. This era of his work highlights a transition toward 'mental imagery,' where the artist sought to uncover the hidden laws of geometry in biological forms. The intricate interlocking of the seeds showcases his fascination with tessellation and the concept of infinity, making this Maurits Cornelis Escher print a cerebral addition to any collection.

What was Escher's inspiration for Blowball II?
Escher was obsessed with the structural patterns of the natural world. Blowball II (1943) explores radial symmetry and the transition from a dense center to the light, airborne seeds of a dandelion.
Why is 250 gsm paper important for fine art?
A 250 gsm (110 lb) weight provides the ideal thickness (0.29 mm) for fine art. It prevents warping and ensures the paper remains flat and substantial within the frame for decades.
