Inspired by walks he took, M.C. Escher’s “Puddle” is a realistic image that contrasts with his usual optical illusions. Escher (1898 – 1972) had no mathematical training, but used advanced math principles when creating over 2000 drawings, and 448 woodcuts, lithographs and engravings. With detailed notations about symmetry, thorough planning and numerous trial sketches, Escher intuitively used extremely advanced mathematical principles in his art.
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.
