Synopsis
Intricate patterns, elegant geometries, and mind-boggling graphics are trademarks of the magical visual world of Dutch artist M. C. Escher (1898–1972.) Mysterious and mathematical at once, his work has captivated scientists, scholars, and popular culture, inspiring book covers, album art, films, posters, and puzzles.
This book brings Escher’s tessellated wonders into your own hands with easy-to-assemble paper sculptures. Folding along perforated edges, you can transform the artist’s richly dimensional designs into intricate, interlocking objects of forming and reforming patterns, including genius arrangements of flowers, butterflies, lizards, and seashells. The book includes concise instructions as well as a review of the geometric principles and artistic invention underlying Escher’s optical marvels.

About the Author
Wallace G. Walker a exercé la plus grande partie de son activité d’artiste indépendant à New York. Il est diplômé de la Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, et est l’inventeur d’IsoAxis. Il a travaillé avec les architectes I. M. Pei &Partners et enseigné le dessin à la Parsons School of Design ainsi qu’au New York Institute of Technology. Il a organisé de nombreux salons et expositions à travers tout le pays. Il est revenu dans sa ville natale de Shreveport, Louisiane, en 1989 et a poursuivi des activités artistiques jusqu’à sa mort en 2003.
Doris Schattschneider est professeur émérite de mathématiques au Moravian College, à Bethlehem, Pennsylvanie, où elle a enseigné pendant 34 ans. Le double intérêt qu’elle porte à la géométrie et à l’art l’a tout naturellement amenée à se pencher sur l’oeuvre de M. C. Escher. Elle a travaillé comme enseignante, conférencière, éditrice et écrivaine et a publié de nombreux ouvrages sur l’oeuvre d’Escher. Son étude, M. C. Escher : Visions of Symmetry (Abrams, 2004), qui dresse un tableau complet de l’oeuvre d’Escher dans le domaine de la symétrie, comporte les photographies en couleur de tous les 150 dessins symétriques d’Escher.
