The Magic Mirror of M.C. Escher (Taschen 25th Anniversary Series)

I bought this book for my talented grandson. I’m not sure he has been able to study and read up on this artist yet.

Excellent book about Escher

Escher's work is so engaging and interesting. Everyone has seen Escher's work, even if they don't know the name. I've used his work to teach math, graphics, and problem solving. My college students love analyzing his work. I bought this book as a gift, and it was an excellent choice. There are many example works in the book, plus interesting explanations.

one of my favorite Eschers is a 1960 woodcut that presents a fascinating image of men 'scending' — ascending and descending simultaneously. two other marvels are his 1961 wood engraving of a Moebius strip, and his 1963 woodcut of a Moebius strip round which red ants are endlessly heading. among my tiptop fayvs is his 1955 lithograph Three Worlds presenting the surface of a pond, and a fish below, and the mirrored image of three trees overseeing. his tessellations also charm; ahhhh the variety and the originality of his art!

I have always admired the works of M.C. Escher, and this anniversary book is an excellent purchase. It contains most of the amazing illustrations the artist created during his lifetime, along with an excellent biography about the artist. For the price, I would also consider purchasing for gift giving for the upcoming holidays.

Amazing book! The closest you can get to learning from Escher himself.

Listing said “very good” condition. Came WITHOUT dust jacket which makes it “good” condition at the most. The book is great though

What a fun book and artist. My autismal son LOVED this
