s
He is primarily known for his math inspired
prints that are extremely detailed and feature
impossible constructions, explorations
of infinity, architecture and tesselations.
That means he lived in Holland,
also called the Netherlands
These are some impossible constructions - take a look at where these stairs will take you...
Explorations in infinity
something that is infinite never ends
it goes on and on forever.
and ever and ever and ever and ever... you get the picture!
Look it's a hand drawing a hand that's drawing a hand!
NOT M.C. Hammer, but M. C. Escher
Where do these ants think they

Tesselations
Tesselations are tiles that fill a plane without
any gaps or overlaps.
a plane is a flat surface
Look closely at the details in some of
M. C. Escher's drawings
Look closely at how you can see EVERY eyelash in this
drawing.. and what's that floating in the pupil?
Here is another self portrait
look at how he has drawn his reflection inside a 3-D math form...
that means he lived in the country of Holland
also called the Netherlands.
Check out how these little crocodiles start as 2-D shapes and
then change to 3-D forms and then back again...
