ILLUSION
{M.C.
THIS SUMMER, THE DALÍ
Museum will highlight the
work of M.C. Escher, a renowned artist whose visual illusions have puzzled and delighted audiences worldwide.
He is best known for his “impossible constructions” and
use of “tessellation,” in which
a pattern of identical shapes is
repeated over and over without
any gaps or overlaps. Coming
on the heels of exhibitions from
famed artists such as Picasso,
Warhol and da Vinci, Escher
at the Dalí adds yet another
inspiring perspective for visitors to the Museum.
On loan from the Herakleidon Museum in Athens,
Greece, this robust exhibition
will feature 135 works covering
Escher’s entire artistic career.
The show includes an array of
the artist’s most famous works
such as Drawing Hands, Reptiles and Waterfall alongside
rarely exhibited early drawings
of family members, panoramas
of exotic landscapes, historic
architecture of Italy and Spain,
original preparatory sketches,
mezzotints, and more.
