	M. C. Escher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maurits Cornelis, or Mauk as he was to be nicknamed, was born in Leeuwarden (Friesland), the Netherlands.
		Escher, who had been very fond of and inspired by the landscape in Italy, was decidedly unhappy in Switzerland, so in 1937, the family moved again, to Ukkel, a small town near Brussels, Belgium.
		Escher moved to the Rosa-Spier house in Laren, (a small town in the middle of the Netherlands) in 1970, a retirement home for artists where he could have a studio of his own.

	M.C. Escher [encyclopedia]
		Escher, however, who had been very fond of and inspired by the landscape in Italy, was decidedly unhappy in Switzerland, so two years later, in 1937, the family moved again, this time to Ukkel, a small town near Brussels, Belgium.
		Most of Escher's better-known pictures date from this period of time; the cloudy, cold, wet weather of the Netherlands allowed him to focus entirely on his works, and only in 1962, when he had to undergo surgery, there was a time where no new images were created.
		Escher's work has a strong mathematical component, and many of the worlds which he drew are built around impossible objects such as the Necker cube and the Penrose triangle.

		Escher's mind-bending prints and drawings playfully explore perspective, mirror images and physical space.
		Escher also is known for his tessellations -- mosaics of repetitive designs in which positive and negative images interconnect and sometimes blend into one another.
		Though Escher was not trained in math, his work has been embraced by mathematicians who see his drawings as artistic depictions of geometric principles.
