  • Escher's work covered a variety of subjects throughout his life. His early love of portraits, Roman and Italian landscapes and of nature, eventually gave way to regular division of the plane.. Over 150 colorful and recognizable works testify to Escher's ingenuity and vision. He managed to capture the notion of hyperbolic space on a fixed 2-dimensional plane as well as translating the principles of regular division onto a number of 3-dimensional objects such as spheres, columns and cubes. A number of his prints combine both 2 and 3-dimensional images with startling effect.. His art continues to amaze and wonder millions of people all over the world. In his work we recognize his keen observation of the world around us and the expressions of his own fantasies. . M.C. Escher shows us that reality is wondrous, comprehensible and fascinating....

    For those who are Esher fans .There is a permanent Escher Museum in the city of The Hague ( the Netherlands) Located In the old 'Paleis Voorhout ('small 'ex -royal palace ). Beside his original work, there are some rooms hallways, 3d projections/movies etc blend in, to mimic Esher's reality'.

    MC Escher totally SCREWS with my mind....in the most awesome way possible. You can look at his pictures and seriously go insane if you're not careful. He really makes you think when viewing his art. Amazing decades later!!!

    Great choice of music. A beautiful, haunting Chopin Nocturne that was published posthumously. One of my favorites, so charming in it's simplicity and appeal. The Vivaldi is very fitting as well.

    MC Escher was a unique genius on the planet Earth. Incomparable and discoverer. He was very unique as an artist and did not imitate any other artist. MC Escher I already found in countless books. Often as an enclosed inspiration of an article. MC Escher is immortal. He will still be remembered when we are all dead and forgotten.

    It is a wonderful story that Penrose communicated with Escher about "Improbable" spaces from the first Escher prints. Escher gave Penrose some original prints of his earlier prints. Their different worlds were combined. Escher went on to make more examples of "Improbability". Escher's work may lead us to a dimension we have not found so far!

    The last 2 minute and 36 seconds of this video seem to deal with the clear light -- the place where all creativity and art come from -- the deep well from whence all thought arises -- the tabula rasa where individual ideas are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from subjective experience or perception -- the unified field where all matter and energy are held in a state of constantly departing while always arriving (as per Laurie Anderson).

      I think it is wonderful. And that does not do it justice. Have you seen that movie 13 Ghosts? this or something very much like it, was in it near the end. Also in the movie Contact, two, you see two of these encasing the things for space travel. (I am sorry I am sick with flu...) and something not the same but similar was in one of the Lara Croft movies...though I really need to look that one up before referring to it, but it was a similar concept.

      going on a nerdy deep-end here, something referred to as the "Looking Glass" project? It has an Argon Port, and stabalizers...I am a nerd but yes I just misspelled that lol, anyway, as to the official mathematical name of what it is called now your turn to surprise me, but I am telling you, it was in movies and supposedly a version was actually built and had purpose and tested, though not the result as was in 13 Ghosts (lol), or Contact...it is what it said, "Looking Glass"

      This is what people say who have no glue that humans have the perfect capability to evolve spiritually without resorting to comfortable crutches.
      Do you really believe that Yogis who don't have to eat anymore, or Rishis which had supernatural powers need such kids drugs?
