M.C.ESCHER - HIS LIFE AND COMPLETE GRAPHIC

M.C. Escher's art, with its extraordinary manipulations of space, time, and perspective, becomes ever more popular and sought after, but the man himself has remained remote, even enigmatic. Here, at last, is a full-fledged biography as well as a complete record of his graphic work. This book contains a comprehensive catalogue of Escher's graphic work, with descriptions of and much additional information about some 450 prints, a large number of which are unknow or rarely reproduced. The 600 illustrations will provide endless hours of enjoyment for both Escher devotees and those encountering his work for the first time. The complete text of 'Regelmatige vlakverdeling' ('The Regular Division of the Plane'), the book Escher wrote and illustrated in 1957 for the De Roos Foundation, is also included here, along with an extensive bibliography and an index.
