A master of illusion, M.C. Escher created superb drawings and prints depicting tessellating figures (arranging shapes in a repeating pattern that completely covers a flat surface with no gaps and no overlaps), impossible structures, strange metamorphosis, and skewed perspectives. Even in his early landscapes, Escher's fascination with unconventional viewpoints and perspectives is evident.
Once he had been to play with the nature of reality in his series of tessellating figures that morphed from one form to another, there was no turning back. You can view 40 of his most amazing prints and drawings - in 3D Informative captions accompany the prints, ranging from his early career through many of his most famous works, to his last print, Snakes.
