Drawing hands, Tekenen - M.C. Escher |
|
 Escher wanted to show the illusion of a drawing as directly as he could. It looks like two threedimensional hands are drawing each other on a piece of paper. Which, in turn, is drawn on another piece. I wonder : would this be Eschers hand, and the pen he was using at the moment ?

| Waterfall, Waterval - M.C. Escher |

 Follow the water. Where does it go ? This waterfall recycles the water after driving the water wheel. Arguably Escher's most famous and inspiring drawing.

| Ascending, descending, Klimmen en dalen - M.C. Escher |
|
 The building seems solid enough, but when you examine it you see that the monks are ascending or descending forever. Escher didn't invent the endless staircase but he managed to draw it in a very appealing way. The inventors of the endless stairs were L.S. and Roger Penrose in 1958.

| Up and down, Op en neer - M.C. Escher |
|
 Escher plays with unusual vanishing points in this drawing. In the middle of the image, the up/down orientation shifts. In the top half of the image you are looking up, in the bottom half you are looking down. To make it complete, up and down are showing the same scene.

Convex and concave, Hol en bol - M.C. Escher |
|
 The floors become ceilings, people are suddenly walking on walls. There is a lot to look at in this drawing. Escher thought more than a month about this image to make it simple enough !
