Libro: M.C. Escher. Ediz. inglese

Through more than one hundred works, the official catalogue of the first major exhibition of M.C. Escher in Paris retraces the entire artistic journey of the Dutch printmaker (1898–1972), from his early training and travels in Italy to the complex technical experiments that earned him admiration even within scientific circles.The volume reconstructs Escher’s visual and conceptual universe ― a space in which nature, art, science, and mathematics intertwine in a balance that is both fascinating and vertiginous. His works ― true architectures of the imagination ― continue to shape our contemporary gaze and have entered the collective imagination through school textbooks, magazines, design, and popular culture.Trained as a graphic artist, Escher produced around 450 prints, each distinguished by a unique 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.More than a simple exhibition companion, this catalogue is a comprehensive guide to the universe of M.C. Escher ― where imagination meets geometry and reality bends to the laws of infinity.
