a pop-up book for adults, Feb 24 2002

This review is from: The Pop-Up Book of M.C. Escher (Hardcover)
We have a good collection of pop-up books for our toddler, but this one is for the adults in the family. Eight representations of Escher's work are presented in black-and-white with one or two sentences of analysis and/or an explanatory quote by the artist. These short comments are interesting and informative, and it is made clear that Escher is precisely an artist whose ideas and work should be presented three-dimensionally. The eight presentations are: Ascending and Descending, Drawing Hands, Puddle, Hand with Reflecting Sphere, Mobius Strip II, Regular Division of the Plane V, Relativity, and Tower of Babel.These renditions don't knock your socks off, but they are thought-provoking and interesting -- fun for adults, not so much for children.

Very cool!, Jan 18 2009

This review is from: The Pop-Up Book of M.C. Escher (Hardcover)
This pop up book can't compete with anything by Sabuda or Reinhart, but is still really good for getting children interested in different kinds of art. This book is a must for anyone interested in art history.The book has about 4 or 5 pop-ups (some are pull the tab) but is still really good for an introduction to Escher's work. Highly recommended.
