Twisted mind: The graphic pattern genius of M. C. Escher
From impossible staircases to tesselated birds, Dutch artist M. C. Escher (1898–1972) crafted a unique graphic language of patterns, puzzles, and mathematics. Dense, complex, and structured by intricate principles, his work is at the same time decorative and playful, toying constantly with optic illusions and the limitations of sensory perception. For mathematicians and scientists, Escher is a mastermind. For hippies, he was the pioneer of psychedelic art.
Born in Leeuwarden, in the Netherlands in 1898, Escher’s early works focused on nature and landscapes, with regular exhibitions in Holland, and some international recognition. It was on a trip to the Alhambra Palace in Spain in the 1920s, however, that Escher found his niche. Sketching the patterns of the palace’s Moorish architecture, Escher became captivated by the codependency of forms within and next to each other.
Working mainly with lithographs and woodcuts, Escher went on to explore the relationships among shapes, figures, and space with a near-obsessive delight. He reveled in quirky vantage points, multiple perspectives, the transition from paper flatness to illusory volume, and intricate mathematical puzzles such as the Mobius strip, a seemingly infinite loop which twists and recoils on itself in a contortion of apparent physical impossibility.
This introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 taps into Escher’s brilliant mind with key works from his restless investigation of image and perception. Along the way, you’ll find fish morphing into birds, lizards crawling off the page, masterful reflections, infinite mazes, and some of the most mind-bending images of 20th-century art.

Зміст
Викривлений розум: Геній графічних візерунків М. К. Ешера
Від неможливих сходів до тесельних птахів, нідерландський художник М. К. Ешер (1898-1972) створив унікальну графічну мову візерунків, головоломок і математики. Щільні, складні, структуровані за хитромудрими принципами, його роботи водночас декоративні та грайливі, вони постійно граються з оптичними ілюзіями та обмеженнями чуттєвого сприйняття. Для математиків і науковців Ешер - натхненник. Для хіпі він був піонером психоделічного мистецтва.
Ешер народився в місті Леуварден у Нідерландах у 1898 році, його ранні роботи були присвячені природі та пейзажам, він регулярно виставлявся в Голландії та отримав міжнародне визнання. Однак саме під час подорожі до палацу Альгамбра в Іспанії у 1920-х роках Ешер знайшов свою нішу. Замальовуючи візерунки мавританської архітектури палацу, Ешер був зачарований взаємозалежністю форм всередині та поруч одна з одною.
Працюючи переважно з літографіями та ксилографіями, Ешер продовжував досліджувати взаємозв'язки між формами, фігурами та простором з майже одержимим захопленням. Він насолоджувався химерними точками зору, множинними перспективами, переходом від площини паперу до ілюзорного об'єму та складними математичними головоломками, такими як смуга Мьобіуса, що здається нескінченною петлею, яка закручується і повертається сама на себе у вигині очевидної фізичної неможливості.
Ця вступна книга з серії TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 знайомить з блискучим розумом Ешера та ключовими роботами з його невгамовних досліджень зображення та сприйняття. Ви побачите риб, що перетворюються на птахів, ящірок, що виповзають зі сторінки, майстерні рефлексії, нескінченні лабіринти та деякі з найбільш вражаючих образів мистецтва 20-го століття.
