Get a new perspective when you explore the creative process of one of the world’s most popular and intriguing artists of the 20th century – Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) – with more than 80 prints and drawings from the 1920s through the 1960s in the exhibition M.C. Escher: Rhythm of Illusion at the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA).
M. C. Escher has earned worldwide renown for his precisely rendered visual illusions that range from an image of never-ending steps to a flock of geese flying in two directions at once. A wide cross-section of people, from connoisseurs of graphic arts to the scientific community, has found his work challenging and delightful.
Organized by the Portland Art Museum, Oregon, this exhibition will lead viewers to see that, through his innate sense of intellectual curiosity regarding the laws of nature and their persuasively deceptive visual effects on the mind’s eye, Escher created in two dimensions a world of fantastic spatial and planar geometric rhythm – precise illusions of his own making.
