M.C. Escher at the Museum: An Educator’s Perspective

Jean-François Léger

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 408-419 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is rare for a major museum to organize a large-scale exhibition on M.C. Escher. Frequently, museums confine their representation of this artist to the bookstore shelves. When the National Gallery of Canada organized an exhibition of Escher’s work, it prepared a comprehensive educational program to mark the occasion, as was only fitting. I believe that from this experience emerges a model that might guide others who are similarly interested in the reception of the artist’s work.
