  1. 1. The Magic Mirror Of M.C. Escher

    A richly illustrated study of a pioneering graphic artist’s prints, this volume unpacks the mathematical ideas behind tessellations, symmetry, perspective paradoxes, and the depiction of infinity, explaining how the images were conceived and constructed. Drawing on conversations, notes, and diagrams, it offers accessible analyses of techniques such as periodic division of the plane, metamorphosis, and impossible objects, while tracing the creative process and the interplay between art and mathematics.
