The
impossible triangle was first
conceived by the
Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in
1934. Although at first glance it may appear to be a regular
three-dimensional object, with each
corner looking perfectly
normal, when considered as a whole, the
paradox becomes apparent. The sides of the
triangle look as if they both
recede and come towards you
simultaneously. Yet, somehow, they meet in an
impossible configuration. The drawing itself isn't
impossible. Just your
three-dimensional interpretation of it.
