The Magic of M.C. Escher
The mind's eye via the master's hand
Imaginary worlds, impossible stairways, paradoxical hallways, enigmatic patterns, and mind-boggling graphics are the trademarks of M.C. Escher's artwork. His two-dimensional drawings bring to life a fourth dimension where the surfaces of things come together like a Mobius strip. The profoundly original work of Escher has inspired countless artists, designers, and filmmakers and can be considered a genre in itself. Created in collaboration with the M.C. Escher foundation, this retrospective volume traces Escher's incredible oeuvre through high-quality reproductions, complementary texts by the world's leading Escher experts, and quotations from Escher himself.

"Muchos de los cuadros son presentados bellamente en las páginas de este libro. Escher es el creador de algunos de los dibujos intelectualmente más estimulantes de todos los tiempos. Muchos de ellos tienen como raíz la paradoja, la ilusión o el doble sentido."
