Sharing some Common Interests of M.C. Escher

Matjuška Teja Krašek

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 199-206 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Escher’s questions (above) would probably be different today if he were still among us. Today many more people share Escher’s fascination with interlocking shapes. This was evident in June 1998 in Rome and Ravello at the congress which celebrated the occasion of 100 years since his birth. People in many professions met there with one common starting-point — the life and art of M.C. Escher. Why would people in disparate professions (artists, scientists) come together to talk about his art or to make an “Homage to Escher” with their own art works? I believe it is because we, like Escher, are curious about the laws of nature, and seek for beauty, harmony and order. And certainly because we are fascinated by his artistic work.
