Biography: M.C. Escher was born as Maurits Cornelis Escher in 1898 in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. He died at the age of 73 in 1972 in the Netherlands. He studied art from 1919 to 1922 at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem. In 1922 Escher visited the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain, which was to prove an enduring influence on his art.
He lived in Rome from 1924 to 1935, then in Switzerland and Belgium, before returning to the Netherlands in 1941, where he lived until his death. Escher is best known for his surrealist prints (lithographs and woodcuts, primarily) which feature optical illusions, distortions of perspective, and impossible objects (such as the Necker Cube and the Penrose Triangle), often involving reality-bending architectural constructions. Escher died at the age of 73 in 1972 in the Netherlands. (Return to Top.)
