Have been an Escher fan for as long as I can remember. Just bought a "coffee table" book of his on sale to cut up and frame about 2-3 weeks ago actually.

You have excellent taste ! !

I ran across his work when I first went to Uni. I saved my pennies to buy cheap lithographs of his works, and a huge illustrated book.

Was he an ASpie, by any chance????

I'm not a big fan of artwork for the most part, but I learned about escher in art class years and years ago and always thought he was really cool. That one of the mountainside posted by quartermass is amazing, imo. I also remember seeing the one at the bottom of ritchie's post, looking at it for about 10 minutes. I liked salvador dali, the scream and the clocks paintings. But I don't really know anything as far as artwork goes... :oops:

I love Dali & Escher, too, but 'The Scream' was done by Edvard Munch,one of my favorite paintings of all time. This was me at work today:

Even for you Yanks, that's as clear as peanut butter ! !

Anyway, Escher was a great, if a bit obscure, genius.

Same here! I like art that makes me think, like Escher's drawings and Dalí's paintings.

I've modeled the Klimmen und Dalern (1st pic in the thread), but obviously couldn't get it quite right... Also did the Relativity model (the stairs...also problems), and even the roly-poly bugs (may make them posable one day, if I can figure out posing in Poser.. Did the one of him holding a mirrored sphere, but that was years ago. Even did a version of 'the Scream' (I know, I know.., but no one really looked at it, so I pulled it from the gallery..

always a big fan of his...
