This classic artwork by M.C. Escher contains much more than meets the eye. Escher (1898 – 1972), who disliked flat surfaces, created astounding three-dimensional effects in impossible buildings, illusions of infinity, and complex perspectives. Lacking formal mathematical training, Escher intuitively devised intricate woodcuttings, lithographs and mezzotints containing advanced mathematical concepts.
Creativity and logic converge in M.C. Escher’s mind-bending art of mathematical perfection. The Dutch Escher (1898-1972) is the world’s most famous graphic artist; his interlocking figures, shapes and mirror images presented in black and white enhance their implausible dimensions. As a student, Escher disliked math as much as he disliked flat shapes, thereby compelling him to create otherworldly optical illusions. Escher’s pop culture references appear in everything from The Simpsons to The Matrix to music and video games.
