Escher’s Fondness for Animals

H. S. M. Coxeter

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is clear from the abundance of lizards and other live creatures in Escher’s pictures, that he had a great fondness for animals. An essay written at school [2, p. 16] ends with the words: “While I was sitting so quietly alone, a very small bird hopped over the snow — perhaps it was a wren. It was enjoying the fine weather; it chirped merrily and blinked at the sun. It skipped towards the water and fluttered about a bit. Then it flew away, so I left too.”
