“Drawing
Hands” is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher. It was first printed in
January 1948. Although it is not photography, I choose it for many reasons. The
first of them is that, sincerely, I don´t know so much about photography, so I
don´t have any photography that I very like. Other reasons are the method (lithography) and
what I see in this print.
In “Drawing
Hands” one hand is drawing other hand that is drawing the first one. I very
like this work because I see in it a principle basic of praxis: the subject that
works on the nature, he transforms it at the same time he transforms himself.
In “Drawing Hands”, while the hand is drawing other hand, the product of its
work (the other hand) is making it, drawing it. It’s very confused to explain. However,
this is only an idea, and art has not to be interpreted.
