The Magic of M.C.Escher by J. L. Locher and W. F. Veldhuysen

As beautiful and rigorous as an Escher work itself, this book is the classic study of a great maverick who so memorably linked the world of imagemaking with geometry and paradox. Escher s works, from the great master prints to numerous drawings, are brilliantly arranged to form a cinematic journey of discovery that reveals the magical world of the artist s mind, an uncharted realm lush with exotic conceptions and inventions.
