Escher's art since I first encountered his famous "Relativity" print as a small child. I love the way he way he plays with perspective, with dimensions, with background and foreground, with visual paradoxes, and recursion, and all kinds of almost mathematical ideas, all while retaining a sense of whimsy. This particular volume reproduces 76 Escher prints (at least of couple of which, much to my surprise, I don't think I'd seen before), with the author himself providing a short introduction and a paragraph or so of commentary on each piece. These commentaries are often not much more than a simple description of what it is we're looking at, and yet even so I found many of them gave me interesting new insights. After all these years, it's rather wonderful to know I can still see new things in Escher's work. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

M.C. Escher (1898-1972) was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. He received his first drawing lessons during secondary school from F.W. van der Haagen, who also taught him the block printing, thus fostering Escher's innate graphic talents. From 1912 to 1922 he studied at the School of Architecture and Ornamental Design in Haarlem, where he was instructed in graphic techniques by S. Jessurun de Mesquita, who greatly influenced Escher's further artistic development. Between 1922 and 1934 the artist lived and worked in Italy. Afterwards Escher spent two years in Switzerland and five in Brussels before finally moving back to Barn in Holland, where he died in 1972. M.C. Escher is not a surrealist drawing us into his dream world, but an architect of perfectly impossible worlds who presents the structurally unthinkable as though it were a law of nature.
