5.0 out of 5 stars Best value collection of Escher's best-known prints, 11 Mar 2000
By A Customer
I had an earlier re-printing of this collection (which first appeared in the 'fifties) that got damaged, so I was pleased recently to get a copy of this latest edition. It has over seventy one-a-page reproductions of Escher's best-known prints, selected by him, with his brief but very useful comments on each. The quality of the reproductions is very good, with crisp linework, solid blacks, and dense, rich tonal areas. About 15 prints are reproduced in colour. Really exceptional value at the price. As the text is so short I recommend Bruno Ernst's "The Magic Mirror of M. C. Escher", which explains in detail how the images were created, as a companion volume. Together they are really all the Escher fan needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warped laws of logic, 10 Jul 2003
By fields21 "fields21" (Hoogerheide, Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
M.C. Escher was a true artist - taking care of balancing the various structures in his drawings. Also, as late in 1969, herefused Mick jagger to use one of his drawings as a album cover - which would have mdae him wordlfamous to anyone. Reason was he couldn't see anything artistically worthwhile in there music. Well.....
To the unitiated - his famous work (ab)uses the laws of logic by extending them to create optical illusions. Stairs go up and through crafty interconnecing stairs the end below their starting point. Same for rivers. Also, he created very famous 'metamorhosises' - birdshaoes change into fish and the like. Anyhow, see for yourself.

Another small detail - one of his favourite books was "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Caroll. In some ways he tried to translate the events in the novel into graphics. Also, his art is often loved by mathematicians and physists (see Hofstadter's Godel, Escher and Bach).
