Maurits Cornelis Escher - Published by G.W. Breughel - Metamorphose

Object After genaamd Metamorphose Origineel gemaakt door Kunstenaar: Maurits Cornelis (Mauk[1]) Escher (Leeuwarden, 17 juni 1898 – Hilversum, 27 maart 1972) was een Nederlandse kunstenaar, die bekend is om zijn houtsneden, houtgravures en lithografieën, waarin hij vaak speelde met wiskundige principes. Hij signeerde zijn werk met MCE. Zijn gravures verbeelden vaak onmogelijke constructies, studies van oneindigheid en in elkaar passende meetkundige patronen (vlakverdelingen) die geleidelijk in volstrekt verschillende vormen veranderen. Enkele zeer bekende voorstellingen die hij tekende zijn ontworpen rond onmogelijke objecten zoals de Penrose-trap. Pas in de jaren vijftig van de twintigste eeuw kreeg hij in bredere kring erkenning als kunstenaar, vooral in de VS. Kristallografen en wiskundigen ontdekten in zijn werk symmetrieën en thema's uit hun vakgebieden. Eschers grafische werk wordt vanaf 1960 in wetenschappelijke (leer)boeken gebruikt.[2] In de jaren zestig werd zijn werk – tot zijn verbazing – vanwege de fantastische parallelle werelden door hippies en popsterren omarmd. Periode after 2001 Kleuren : rood , zwart, wit Gemaakt op dik papier Gesigneerd in de plaat Zie alle foto’s voor de maten Zie alle foto’s voor een goede indruk Het item is in zeer mooie en goede conditie Het zal zorgvuldig verzonden worden Een mooi item voor elk interieur of elke verzameling

Object
After called Metamorphosis
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.
