Visions of Symmetry (2005) presents the fascinating graphic art of M.C. Escher, focusing on his mathematically inspired drawings, prints, and tessellations. It is widely considered the most definitive study of the artist's intense fascination with the "regular division of the plane". This comprehensive hardcover monograph with dust jacket (HC/DJ) meticulously unpacks how Escher constructed his complex, puzzle-like interlocking patterns of birds, fish, and reptiles by directly analyzing his private notebooks and mathematical methodology. Originally published in 1990, the updated 2004/2005 edition expands on his legacy with an illustrated epilogue showcasing his profound influence on scientists, computer developers, and artists, featuring over 400 illustrations including hundreds of his lesser-known periodic drawings ABOUT US: We are a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
