Synopsis

Présentation de l'éditeur

Illusions in your hands
Craft one of the most original artists of our time into 3D!
Intricate patterns, elegant geometries, and mind-boggling graphics are trademarks of the magical visual world of Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898 1972.) Mysterious and mathematical at once, his work has captivated scientists, scholars, and popular culture, inspiring book covers, album art, films, posters, and puzzles.

This book brings Escher s tessellated wonders into your own hands. Crafting the perforated card spreads, you can transform Escher s richly dimensional designs into fascinating, three-dimensional, interlocking objects of forming and reforming patterns, including genius arrangements of flowers, butterflies, lizards, and seashells. The book includes assembly instructions as well as a review of the geometric principles and artistic invention underlying Escher s optical marvels.
