In the Sept 2009 Issue of "Discovery" magazine, there is an interview with Roger Penrose, one of the greatest thinkers in physics. Quoting from the interview: "I met Escher once, and gave him some tiles that will make a repeating pattern, but not until you've got 12 of them fitted together. He did this, and then he wrote to me and asked me how it was done -- what was it based on? So I showed him a kind of bird shape that did this, and he incorporated it into what I believe is the last picture he ever produced, calledGhosts." Escher's last tessellation was a solution to a puzzle sent to him by Roger Penrose, the mathematician. Escher solved it and, true to form, changed the angular wood blocks into rounded 'ghosts'. This image appears to be titled 'Penrose Ghosts' (see related link).
