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. Every few decades an unknown author brings out a book of such depth, clarity, range, wit, beauty and originality that it is recognized at once as a major literary event. With 30 postcards you will have your favorite M.C. Escher prints always at hand.
High quality prints the size of normal postcards.
In fact, each is an actual postcard that you could use if you dare to part with it. By far our most popular selection. The two page forward written by Escher relates his views and thoughts about many prints and the direction his life took. The classification and description section gives details on each print. This is without doubt the definitive work on Escher's watercolors and tessellations.
