Maurits Cornelis Escher is one of the most renowned graphic artists and illustrators of all time. His brilliant and visionary creations have left a lasting mark on the collective imagination of the 20th century and continue to inspire today. Escher boldly explored themes within the realms of geometry and numerology—often ahead of the research of experts in those fields, or in extraordinary synchronicity—engaging with the concepts of space and infinity, and by extension, time and eternity. But Escher was, above all, a great artist: a profound connoisseur of art history and someone who maintained constant dialogue with Italian and European cultural circles. Discovered relatively recently by the broader public, Escher is admired not only by art enthusiasts, but also by lovers of mathematics, geometry, science, design, and graphic art. Through around one hundred works, this catalogue presents his full artistic journey—from his beginnings and travels in Italy to the various techniques he explored throughout his life—revealing the depth and uniqueness that define him as an artist.
