[edit] Was Escher inspired by Reutersvärd?
I found the following statement:
- One of his better known works is the "impossible staircase", which was rediscovered and published by M.C. Escher and Roger Penrose in 1958. They had not known of Reutersvard's previous work.[1]
Does anyone know of a "reliable source" supporting the claim that Escher was inspired by Reutersvärd? Lambiam 02:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why the Penrose Triangle?
Is there a reason why the article uses the Penrose Triangle, when it's about Reutersvärd? Wouldn't this image be a better choice? It's the first "impossible figure" that Reutersvärd drew, and is his original version of the impossible triangle. (I have no idea if the image is in the public domain, though.)
