Swans, 1956, wood engraving, M.C. Escher
" I believe that producing pictures, as I do, is almost solely a question of wanting so very much to do it well" - M.C. Escher
Throughout his mature period, Dutch graphic artist, M.C. Escher, 'played and mined' multiple meanings using contrasts of shape and mass, sequence, transformation, light and dark, gradation of tones, and sometimes, with color. Our common shared visual knowledge and experiences of the physical world are set on edge in his pictorial world.
