Maurits Cornelis

M.C.Escher
Netherlands (1898 1972 )

Impossible images

Though much of his work was based on the periodic designs of ancient Moorish mosaics, Escher broke the most fundamental of their rules the representation of living objects in art.

Hand with Reflecting Globe

Escher was a individual artist. He incorporated the fantasy of Monet, the logic and precision of Michaelangelo, the perspective and three dimensional vision of Wright, and the patterns of the Moors, into his own woodcuts, lithographs, and drawings. He created impossible worlds and outlandish creatures.

Mis ideas estn basadas en mi asombro y admiracin por las leyes contenidas en el mundo que nos rodea. Quien se maravilla de algo, toma conciencia de algo maravilloso.
