MC Escher

1898-1972
A Dutch printmaker, he possessed exceptional descriptive abilities and printmaking techniques, earning him the titles of "the fantastical printmaker" and "the magician of vision." While he is best known for his later works of optical illusions and repetition of the same motifs, his landscape prints and book illustrations are also highly regarded, making him a popular artist in Japan with numerous exhibitions of his work.
