rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author amidknight - I wish I could say this book was helpful, but I can't. There are no color plates which makes certain chapters virtually impossible to fully understand. The color plates that are present are not for the color chapter. The writing is bland (I know it's a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author amidknight - M.C. Escher is my favorite artist because of his ability to create such detailed lithographic and woodcut pieces. The book itself explores the life and times of Escher; beginning with his birth in 1898 to his death in 1972. Through the eyes of Bruno...
