Originally created by Artist: Maurits Cornelis (Mauk[1]) Escher (Leeuwarden, June 17, 1898 – Hilversum, March 27, 1972) was a Dutch artist known for his woodcuts, wood engravings, and lithographs, in which he often played with mathematical principles. He signed his work with MCE.
His engravings often depict impossible constructions, studies of infinity, and interlocking geometric patterns (plane divisions) that gradually change into completely different forms. Some of his most famous drawings are based on impossible objects, such as the Penrose staircase. It was not until the 1950s that he received wider recognition as an artist, especially in the US. Crystallographers and mathematicians discovered symmetries and themes from their fields in his work. Escher's graphic work has been used in scientific textbooks since 1960.[2]
In the 1960s, his work was – to his surprise – embraced by hippies and pop stars because of its fantastic parallel worlds.
