"No artist has ever worked harder to render the visions of his mind's eye than M. C. Escher. The visions themselves were remarkable: for Escher, the skin of the visible world was nothing more than a piece of cloth that could be cut, folded, shaped and rearranged in marvelous ways. A superb draftsman, he portrayed these otherworldly transformations of space within the familiar borders established by a sheet of paper. The resulting images have become the favorite artworks of people around the world. [] THE MAGIC OF M. C. ESCHER does justice to this original artist's visual invention. Escher's works--woodcuts, lithographs and drawings, accompanied by quotes from the artist--are brilliantly arranged to form a cinematic look at his achievements. Here is the magical world of the artist's mind, an uncharted realm full of exotic conceptions and inventions. [] As beautiful and rigorous as an Escher work itself, this is the classic study of a great artist." [publisher's flap copy] "A stunning anthology covering the entire scope of Escher's vision."--The Times. "With the exception of a brief foreword, an introduction and a spattering of quotations from the artist, THE MAGIC OF M. C. ESCHER is entirely visual, filled with prints, drawings, and rough sketches."--The New York Times Book Review. "Escher's imaginative metamorphoses of geometric patterns into flocks of birds and mind-bending spatial inventions epitomize our astonishment with the inter-related profusion of the world."--Artphaire. Pristine oversized paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, French flaps, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
