The Magic Of M.C. Escher with an Introduction by J.L. Locher, director of the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, The Netherlands, and a foreword by V. M. Veldhuysen, chairman of the M.C. Escher Foundation.
More visually oriented than literary, this new book interweaves well-known prints with never before published drawings, color symmetries, incredible details, working sketches with excerpts from letters and lectures, most of which have also not been previously published. This bold, new book reveals Escher's meticulous, almost obsessive quest for visually challenging concepts of space and time. In light of today's 3-D computer-generated graphics, this compendium confirms that M.C. Escher was ahead of his time.
Includes 10 dynamic, full-color pull-out "gatefolds" plus a full-color Metamorphose III on the inside back cover of the jacket.
