art Buy this art print at art: bit.ly/17SA27u Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis (M. C.) Escher, born on today’s date in 1898 (d. 1972), created extraordinary optical puzzles that merge mathematics with artistic creativity. His ingenious permutations of the relationship between shapes, figures, and space employ a visual sleight of hand that challenges perception. Widely known as a graphic artist, Escher was also an illustrator, master printmaker, designer, and muralist. His prints explore symmetry, tessellations, and spatial illusions and demonstrate not only his keen observation of the world around him, but are an expression of his own fantasies as well.
