Dutch artist Maurits
Cornelius Escher had begun his training for his parents dream
for him, in architecture,
when his graphic design teacher urged him to abandon
his architectural studies
and take up graphic arts full time. Escher was later to
remark, "I never really
wanted to build houses, only madhouses." (As good a
description as any
of the works below!) Escher went on to produce some of the
greatest art works
of the twentieth century. Before his death in 1972, he lived
to see his work gain
international acclaim and the ultimate tribute of being copied
over and over again.

Escher's
brilliant optical illusional works are featured on
David
McAllister's Image Page. As well as a huge collection
of Eschers
(1898 - 1972) work, he has some of his own work
which
is in the same line, also well worth a look.
