This definitive monograph explores the extraordinary world of M.C. Escher, the Dutch master who transformed mathematical concepts into mesmerizing visual puzzles. Combining biographical insights with a complete illustrated catalogue of his graphic works, the book reveals how Escher's fascination with infinity, optical illusions, and impossible geometries evolved into some of the most recognizable images in art history from his famous tessellations and gravity-defying staircases to surreal landscapes where water flows upward and hands draw themselves into existence.
