M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic
artist, most recognized for spatial illusions, impossible buildings, repeating geometric
patterns (tessellations), and his incredible techniques in woodcutting and
lithography.
 | He was born June 1898 and died March 1972.
His work continues to fascinate both young and old across a broad spectrum of
interests. |
| He was a man studied and greatly
appreciated by respected mathematicians, scientists and crystallographers yet he had no
formal training in math or science. He was a humble man who considered himself neither an
artist or mathematician. |
| Intricate repeating patterns,
mathematically complex structures, spatial perspectives all require a "second
look". In Escher's work what you see the first time is most certainly not all there
is to see. |
