- Summary:
-
M.C. Escher is well known for his surreal, reality-warping engravings -- two hands drawing each other, infinite staircases, fish changing into birds and back again. Never an art-world celebrity, he was nonetheless beloved by everyone from counterculture youth to mystics and scientists. His works defy the laws of physics, mathematics, biology and even logic. He achieves this using paradox, and plays on our inability to hold two contradictory images in our minds at the same time.
