	M.C. Escher art prints and posters
		The illusions created by Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher, more often known simply as M.C. Escher, have challenged mathematicians as well as those who appreciate his images for the graphic technique employed and command of imagery which is at once fantastic and rooted in reality.
		Escher then created further illusion by merging figures and ground, between what would be expected to be three-dimensional with flat patterns.
		From 1944 on, Escher's images exhibited an increasingly Surrealistic vision of fantastic visual reality and private symbolism, often representing what is truly absurd in actual experience with what appears to be factual and rational rendering.

		Maurits Cornelis Escher, as he is properly (but not commonly) known, was born in 1898 in Friesland in the northern part of the Netherlands.
		In his early 20s, Escher traveled to Italy and Spain, where he was greatly affected by the new and surprising landscapes he encountered.
		Escher always had an interest in architecture (he thought of pursuing an architectural career at one point) and his fascination with building forms is reflected in his work.

		Escher often created enigmatic spatial effects by combining various vantage points, for instance, looking up and down at the same time.
		After Escher left Italy in 1935, his interest shifted from landscape to something he described as "mental imagery," often based on theoretical premises.

	Escher
		Escher succeeded to put a symbolic bridge between the realms of art and science.
		In "Concave and Convex," Escher has created a paradoxical world where concave and convex are constantly shifting, throwing the mind into complete ambiguity and confusion.
		Escher plays with the ambiguity of volumes on the flat picture plane; they switch from solid to hollow, from inward to outward, from roof to ceiling, like the cubes in the flag.

	M. C. Escher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Although Escher did not have a mathematical training—his understanding of mathematics was largely visual and intuitive—Escher's work has a strong mathematical component, and more than a few of the worlds which he drew are built around impossible objects such as the Necker cube and the Penrose triangle.
		Escher's artwork is especially well-liked by mathematicians and scientists, who enjoy his use of polyhedra and geometric distortions.

		Escher, however, was fascinated by every kind of tessellation – regular and irregular – and took special delight in what he called “metamorphoses,” in which the shapes changed and interacted with each other, and sometimes even broke free of the plane itself.
		Escher understood that the geometry of space determines its logic, and likewise the logic of space often determines its geometry.
		A central concept which Escher captured is that of self-reference, which many believe lies near the heart of the enigma of consciousness – and the brain's ability to process information in a way that no computer has yet mimicked successfully.

	Escher's "Waterfall" in LEGO
		In fact, when originally planning this model, this was one of the big three problems we thought we needed to solve (the other two were the overall 'impossible building' construction and the waterfall itself) In Escher's original picture, the object on top of the left-hand tower is an intersection of three cubes.
		I started by writing some C code to model a gradually widening parabolic arch with random variations for the spray (hacked from the code I use for my mathematical Lego sculptures) and then gradually modified it by hand until I liked the look of the result.
		The general construction is blatantly stolen from a roof construction method I had noticed at Legoland Windsor, though I simplified it a bit for this model.

		He appeals particularly to scientists and mathmaticians, as well as the general public, because of his consuming fascination with spatial oddities and optical illusions.
		These prints are the result of Escher's desire to explore the unique relationship in art between flat surfaces and three-dimensional spaces.
		They are primarily landscapes from his earlier travels through southern Italy, and are also significant in that they clearly show Escher's preoccupation with the ideas, such as infinity and optics, that would become more fully developed in his later career.

		Many of the two dimensional images Escher created simply could not exist in the three dimenional world, yet on paper they LOOK entirely plausible at first glance (for instance, "Ascending and Descending" and "Belvedere"), and this alone gives the mind of the viewer plenty to ponder.
		Escher also incorporated tessellations - images composed of repeating, interlocking shapes - into many of his pieces (such as in "Reptiles" or "Fish"), and he played with the idea of having different figures in the same composition existing on different planes, despite sharing the same space.
