Maurits Cornelis Escher (popularly known as M.C.Escher) was a Dutch graphic artist in the early 20th century. Best known for his mind-bending, reality-stretching, paradoxical art, Escher wasn’t content obeying the laws of physics. Lesser known, is the fact that he was also an early master of hyper-realism & a brilliant geometric & abstract artist. Most may not know his name but they have more than likely seen his work.
“My work is a game, a very serious game.”
“Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.”
“We adore chaos because we love to produce order.”
“What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness.”
