Maurits Cornelis Escher (popularly known as M.C.Escher) was a Dutch graphic artist in the early 20th century. Best known for his mind-bending, reality-stretching, paradoxical art, Escher wasnโ€™t content obeying the laws of physics. Lesser known, is the fact that he was also an early master of hyper-realism & a brilliant geometric & abstract artist. Most may not know his name but they have more than likely seen his work.

โ€œMy work is a game, a very serious game.โ€

โ€œOnly those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.โ€

โ€œWe adore chaos because we love to produce order.โ€

โ€œWhat I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness.โ€

Iโ€™ve always loved his work. Itโ€™s funny, I see people getting tattoos of some of it with no idea who he is.

He messed with the minds of the mathematicians, the philosophers and the psychologists , his work is some of the most beautiful and perplexing exhibits in existence.
MC Escher has been my favorite artist for many years, and he has blown away many many minds with his perspective.
