Oil Painting Reproduction Art by Masterpiece Paintings Gallery About MC Escher and his Masterpiece Fine Art Work Maurits Cornelis (MC) Escher, hand painted fine art graphic work
MC Escher

     Dutch graphics artist Maurits Cornelis Escher's greatest skill was the masterful combination of mind, ideas, techniques and tools, particularly the most important tools of all -- his hands. His goal was always the expression of a train of thought through a visual form.
     Born in 1898, Escher created primarily woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints in amazingly impossible images, spatial perspectives, detailed repeating patterns, and mathematically complex structures.
    What is truly remarkable is that Escher was a poor student, except in art, and never graduated from high school. Although he had brief attempts at being a poet and an essayist and tried rather hard to become an architect, by 1919 it had become clear that Escher's true gift was in the graphic and decorative arts.
