M.C. Escher (impossible constructions)

Maurits Cornelis Escher 1898- 1972

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist.
He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, litographs, and mezzotints.
These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessalations.
Escher is one of the world's most famous graphic artists.
His art is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.
He is most famous for his so- called impossible structures, such as ascending and descending, relativity, his transformation prints such as metamorphosis, sky and water, and reptiles.
During the time he lived and travelled in Italy, he made more realistic works as "Castrovalva" in which you can already see his fascination for high and low, close by and far away.
Apart from being a graphic artist, M.C. Escher illustrated books, designed tapestries, postage stamps and murals.
His teacher was Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita.
Escher became fascinated by the regular division plane when he visited the Alhambra
(a fourteen century Moorish castle in Granada) and made 137 regular division drawings.
Escher played with architecture, perspective, and impossible spaces.
