Escher' is entirely visual, filled with prints, drawings, and rough sketches. Zusammenfassung Deals with Escher's works, from the great master prints to numerous drawings that are arranged to form a cinematic journey of discovery revealing the magical world of the artists mind. This title presents a study of a great maverick who so memorably linked the world of imagemaking with geometry and paradox.
