High and low
lithograph, 1947, 50.5 x 20.5 cm

In this print the same picture is presented twice over, but viewed from two different points. The upperhalf shows the view that an observer would get if he were about three storeys up; the lower half is the scene that would confront him if he were standing at ground level. If he should take his eyes off the latter and look upwards, then we would see the tiled floor on which he is standing, repeted as a ceiling in the centre of the composition. Yet this acts as a floor for the upper scene . At the very top, this tiles florr repeats itself once again, purely as the ceiling.
