5.0 out of 5 stars M.C. Escher, Oct 30 2003

By

Horselover_Fat (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: M.C. Escher: Life and Work (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete look!, May 19 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: M.C. Escher: Life and Work (Hardcover)

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!!!

This review is from: M.C. Escher: Life and Work (Hardcover)

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!
