Escher incorporated Optical Illusion in his artwork. Mathematics was a huge part of Escher's work. Escher aways incorporated mathematic ideas into his sketches and lithographs. THe idea was to always transform the images of his work based on mathematical ideas. Escher's work was not discovered until after his death in 1972. Escher was a very private man and tended to keep to himself. He was not very social and if he did leave home he tended to go to his studio and work.

M.C. Escher was originally going to study architecture at school, but decided to change to graphic design. Escher based his work on optical illusions. His work was not discovered until after he died. He would transform shapes in his drwaings to bring them out. Escher would usually go to his studio when he left his home. I enjoy looking at Escher's paintings because you really have to look close or you want get the real meaning of the painting.
