M. C. Escher
Tessellation master printmaker
M.
C.
Escher was a Dutch graphic artist known for mathematically inspired works featuring impossible constructions, tessellations, and explorations of infinity.
His images of staircases that loop back on themselves, hands drawing each other, and interlocking creatures have become icons of visual paradox.
Something described as Escheresque or like an Escher drawing suggests reality-defying geometry or endlessly recursive patterns.
