M.C. Escher's Impossible Perspective Illusions

"Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. His art is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world, as can be seen on the many web sites on the internet. He played with architecture, perspective and impossible spaces. His art continues to amaze and wonder millions of people all over the world. In his work we recognize his keen observation of the world around us and the expressions of his own fantasies. M.C. Escher shows us that reality is wondrous, comprehensible and fascinating." What amazes me the most are Escher's beautiful impossible illusions. All of these images are lithographs (a method for printing using a plate or stone with a completely smooth surface).
