Penrose Triangle (or ImpossibleTribar)
The Penrose triangle was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The psychiatrist Lionel Penrose and his mathematician son Roger Penrose independently devised and popularized it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form".
It is an impossible object (also known as an impossible figure or an undecidable figure) that is a type of optical illusion. It consists of a two-dimensional figure which is instantly and subconsciously interpreted by the visual system as representing a projection of a three-dimensional object. 2D figure is subconscionsly interpreted as 3D object although such object can not exist.
It is featured prominently in the works of artist M. C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.
Impossible objects are of interest to psychologists, mathematicians and artists without falling entirely into any one discipline.
