M.C. Escher: The Graphic Work Reviews
Amazing combination of draw, math, shadow and creativity.
love travelling thru his art! magical!
This guy was a genious and every sketch is a challenge for your mind. Recommended to #analyse.
Beautiful and fascinating.
This book contains art along with comments from the artist explaining what he was trying to accomplish and where he felt he did well and not so well. His words add a lot to the appreciation of the well known images. It's a fun book that would be great to get again to study and try recreating.
I love that small children are drawn to this!
A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.

Like most high school and college students, I went through an Escher phase. Without the aid of psychotropic substances or any sort of interest in vaguely mathematical patterns, mind you, so it didn't last long, but still, it happened, and this was the book I bought as it was going on. And, you know, it's a reprinting of various Escher pieces. At the time, I'd have probably rated it 5 stars, but now, it gets an "I'm no longer quite so impressed, but still appreciate the artistry involved" 3 star
