past, present and future






Maurits Cornelis Escher  is one of the world’s most famous graphic artists, well known for his lithographs, wood cuts, wood engravings, drawings and sketches.

His ‘transformations’ and impossible constructions’ continue to stun people with their abstract concepts conveyed through precise and complex  geometrical construction. A very fine  sense of detail, born out of keen observation, is evident in all his work, as is his mastery over his medium of expression.

Lithography (lithos = stone, graphein = to write ) is a method of printing, invented by the German author and actor Alois Senefelder. It can be used to print text or artwork onto paper or other suitable material.
