Why read it?

1 author picked The Magic Mirror of M. C. Escher as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Escher is an incredible artist. This is an informative book about his life and work, with plenty of examples of his astonishing art.

Escher reveals the gaps in our systems of representation and invites us to jump into them. Like my own stories, his artworks are poetic constructions that point towards that which cannot be represented: the infinite beyond.

Enjoy having your mind blown? Escher’s your man.
