The Magic of M.C. Escher

Very comprehensive coverage of the works of this unique artist. I particularly liked the inclusion of working drawings in addition to the more familiar images.Very large format that allows the large reproduction of images that brings them to life. Smashing!

Wonderful book with amazing pull-out sections showing the work of v nicely.

The most comprehensive coverage of his work that I have seen. Includes many of his working drawings and preliminary sketches, particularly of tessellations. Occasionally the layout of the book did not work. In some cases I would have preferred larger pictures of the whole work rather than have large pictures of details. The whole thing felt a bit disjointed.

I bought this book as a gift for a teacher - Escher is his favourite artist. The book is absolutely beautiful - a wonderful variety of pictures of his work, illustrations of early sketches and how he created his special style. A must buy for any Escher enthusiasts or students.

Excellennt
