Escher, M.C.

M.C. Escher was a Dutch artist known for creating intricate, mind-bending images that explore perspective, infinity, and symmetry. His work often features impossible constructions, such as staircases that loop endlessly or tessellations where shapes fit together perfectly yet defy conventional logic. Escher masterfully manipulates geometric principles to challenge perceptions and invite viewers to question reality, blending art and mathematics. His imaginative designs have influenced art, architecture, and science, making complex concepts accessible through visual illusions that captivate and provoke thought about the nature of space and perception.
