M.C. ESCHER: LONDON CATALOGUE

Through more than one hundred works, the official catalogue of the first major exhibition in London. The entire artistic journey of M.C. Escher (1898–1972), from his early training and travels in Italy to the complex technical experiments that made him an artist admired even in scientific circles. The volume reconstructs M.C. Escher’s visual and conceptual universe: a space where nature, art, science, and mathematics intertwine in a fascinating and dizzying balance. His works – true architectures of the imagination – continue to influence our contemporary gaze, becoming part of the collective imagination through textbooks, magazines, design, and pop culture. Trained as a graphic artist, M.C. Escher created around 450 prints, each with a distinctive style and extraordinary precision. His creations speak not only to art lovers but also to those passionate about geometry, mathematics, visual sciences, architecture, and graphic design.
