M.C.Escher
A Dutch graphic artist, most recognized for spatial illusions,
impossible buildings, repeating geometric patterns (tessellations), and his
incredible techniques in woodcutting and lithography. M.C. Escher was born June
1898 and died March 1972. He was 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.

Prints
Copies of his prints, including many deceptive
mathematically based optical illusions (the impossible waterfall, the endless
staircase, the Mott The Hoople LP cover!) and illustrations of self-referential
concepts (two hands drawing each other). 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.
