  
Maurits Cornelis Escher (Dutch, 1898–1972) took great delight in confusing two and three dimensions, altering planes and spaces in unexpected ways, and poking fun at gravity. His art forces us to consider a reality in which fish scales are made up of fish, and walls and floors change places with apparent logical ease. This address book presents forty splendid examples of Escher’s woodcuts and lithographs along with his incredible drawings. Introduction by Escher's son George excerpted from a 1985 exhibition catalog. Images include: Castrovalva, Delft: Roofs, Tower of Babel, along with the familiar favorites: Drawing Hands, Mobius Strip II, etc.
