an example of one point perspective.
b.
a flat surface on which he added shading and shadow to create realism.
c.
a picture in which its lines were not perpendicular to one another, but rather randomly located.

the illusion of multiple point, never ending perspective.

Answer 1

d. the illusion of multiple point, never ending perspective.

Escher used conflicting vanishing points to create an impossible, endlessly looping staircase (like the Penrose stairs).
