M.C. Escher (1898-1972) M.C. Escher drew spatial illusions, impossible buildings and repeating geometric patterns known as tessellations. He also produced woodcuttings and lithographs.
Dream (Mantis religiosa) Woodengraving, April, 1935 printed by Escher himself. One of the best-known and, to many, one of the most puzzling of the artist's early prints, from his first show at the Whyte Gallery in Washington, D.C., a few years before World War II.
