the Geometric Art of M.C.Escher
Maurits Escher was born in the Netherlands in 1898.
Although his school experience was largely a negative one,he looked forward with enthusiasm to his two hours of art each week.
His father urged him into architecture to take advantage of his artistic ability.However,that endeavor did not last long. It became apparent that Escher's talent lay more in the area of decorative arts than in architecture, so Escher began the formal study of art when he was in his twenties. His work includes sketches,woodcuts, mezzotints,lithographs,and water-colors.
