[.ca] M.C. Escher: Life and Work (ISBN 0810981130)

Where Art And Mathematics Meet:
A very good to get a feel for the life and work of a true genius. In mathematics we strive even today to understand the plane as well as M. C. Escher did! His tessellations are still amazing! We bought this in hardback originally at twice this price an never regretted it!

More than that:
This book is amazing not only because of Escher's works itcontains (very nice, of course), but also because of the details onhis life that it has - and that many other books on the subject failto give. After reading this book - and there's plenty of text to read- one will really understand who was Escher, and how did his workimpact on the society on his days.

M.C. Escher:
Definitely the first book every Escher fan should purchase. It's helpful in getting to know about the man himself as well as his brilliant artwork. It may seem pricey, but it's totally worth it, being hardcover (at least the one I got), and high quality photos of his work. It also shows his lesser known works (ones never released apparently), as well as photos of himself and his family. A very informative read and a quality edition.

Amazing!!!!!:
This book is the most amazing and beautiful book I have ever seen! There is no other artist that can can produce such intrickit yet perfect observtions as he has. His work ranges from strikingly realistic sceens and faces to such abstract ideas I could never have possibly imagined on my own. Every person of every age would love this book. There is so much in it I have spent hours on end just stairing at one page. It insired me to look at the world in a whole new way. I love this book.

A Complete look!:
I haven't even had a chance to go through all of this remarkable book yet, but I am so impressed with it so far I cannot burble enough about how delighted I am with my purchase. This is a beautifully produced, designed, and wonderfully complete book. Many tales of the personal life an vision of the artist, countless, cleanly reproduced graphics, many works I have never seen or heard of before. Terrific! Can't recommend enough!!!
