M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist known for his iconic optical illusions. His lithographs, woodcuts, engravings, and drawings expressed a high level of technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail. With his puzzling depictions of tessellating staircases and interlocking objects within space, Escher offered visual conundrums to the viewer. Influenced by the traditional drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer, Escher’s unique practice in turn inspired later Op Art artists.
