The Dutch artist’s visual tricks and teases continue to delight and infuriate us – here is some of his best work
Maurits Cornelis Escher, best known for his mathematically inspired prints, was born on June 17, 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

From 1919 – 1922, Escher attended the […]

He was dismissed by the art world and venerated by mathematicians … he rejected both Mick Jagger’s and Stanley Kubrick’s attempts to schmooze him. So who was the mysterious MC Escher, master of illusion?

Fourth graders got to do this neat mind bending project. We began by looking at the work of MC Escher who loved both math (geometry) and art. As you can see he did very planned and precise artwork! We talked about how visual illusions are artworks that tease your brain and make you think! MC Escher was a master of illusions! Students also pointed out right away that MC Escher is very good at using value (shading) to create the illusion of form (3D shapes). This was a concept that we studied earlier. Next we used pre-made tessellation animal stencils to tessellate 5 animals. It was a challenge to figure out how each of the animals fit perfectly into itself. There is always a good amount of head scratching on this step! Afterwards, I point out to the kids that it was tricky to use the pre-made stencils but imagine how much trickier it would have been to invent this art! The next class we actually created our own tessellation tile out of a square lined index card and used it to fill in the background! In order to reference MC Escher's "Drawing Hands" picture students were encouraged to cut out a photo of their own drawing hand or MC Escher's! Learning Goals: I can... - Tell about MC Escher (illusion, tessellations) - Create a tessellation - Use pattern - Use contrasting color families to make animals stand out from the background

Sonia del Re makes the case for seeing Maurits Cornelis Escher from a new angle.
Hoewel hij al vroeg in zijn carrière gefascineerd was door het principe van de regelmatige vlakverdeling dook Escher er in 1936 pas echt met volle kracht in. Toen begon een periode waarin hij talloze experimenten uitvoerde met manieren waarop een vlak gevuld kon worden met patronen van geometrische vormen. Dat…
MC Escher’s work is valued for its complexity, and its representations of infinity. But a look at his life shows his deep debt to Islamic art. For Christopher Jackson, this prompts reflections about the way in which East and West have always inspired one another – and why we must fight for a world where […]

Here’s a list (though it’s a titan’s feat trying to be comprehensive in this case) of shout-outs this book manages to pack into every crevice, […]
