I would say M.C. Escher, but that isn't how he made his signature blocks.
People have got the image, but not the reason. MW is the *initials* of "minimalist what" (but not the entire signature, which is why the title was an exaggeration).#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 10, 2012 [SPOILER]
I think there may be an interesting challenge here - to have puzzles that are symmetric in the interplay of figure and ground - as the black and white are symmetric in this one. The nice thing about this kind of symmetry is that it doesn't show up in the numeric clues as clearly.
I made one where there was rotational symmetry between two colors - fairly hard to notice, I thought. I've never tried with just one color.#12: Alicia Snyder (prinny) on Nov 14, 2013
