Between Illusion and Reality

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 125-129 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract An acquaintance of mine first drew my attention to the pictures of M.C. Escher in 1979, when I had almost finished my first book [3]. It was profoundly moving for me to discover that I was not the only one to have such “crazy” ideas in his head with the ability to express them on paper. I was certain that M.C. Escher and I were kindred spirits, for our minds seemed to operate and analyze in a very similar way. Therefore I was able to understand very well what M.C. Escher must have felt when he began to deconstruct everyday phenomena, giving artistic expression to newly perceived laws, achieving astonishing effects with unusual combinations translated on to paper in ever more novel ways. Whatever could have triggered M.C. Escher to look at things in this way?
