Illusion....


No more storks for the moment (though I have spotted a few more already that I will picture later). Time to move on! If you have never heard of Escher before, than you must have a look here. He is the most famous Dutch graphic artists. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints which feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity and architecture. He has a dedicated museum on the Lange Voorhout, that you should absolutely not miss if you visit The Hague.

Thanks for that link! I just looked at his work. Wow. I'm going back for more and when I visit The Hague I will visit his museum. Amazing talent.

I've been amazed by Escher's work but kind of forgot about it so thanks for rekindling my interest.
