Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9.02MB
Overview: M.C. Escher was born in 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. He received his first drawing lessons during secondary school from F.W. van der Haagen, who also taught him the block printing, thus fostering Escher’s innate graphic talents.
From 1912 to 1922 he studied at the School of Architecture and Ornamental Design in Haarlem, where he was instructed in graphic techniques by S. Jessurun de Mesquita, who greatly influenced Escher’s further artistic development. Between 1922 and 1934 the artist lived and worked in Italy. Afterwards, Escher spent two years in Switzerland and five in Brussels before finally moving back to Barn in Holland, where he died in 1972.
This book includes seventy-six reproductions of the precisely executed yet surrealistic renderings by the master of trompe l’oeil. Also featured are an introduction and individual descriptions of each piece by the artist himself, 68 black and white graphic plates and eight four-color graphic plates.
