General Graphic Arts Design: The Graphic Work M C Escher was born in 1898 in Leeuwarden Netherlands He received his first drawing lessons during secondary school from F W van der Haagen who also taught him the block printing thus fostering Escher s innate graphic talents From 1912 to 1922 he studied at the School of Architecture and Ornamental Design in Haarlem where he was instructed in graphic techniques by S Jessurun de Mesquita Escher is not a surrealist drawing us into his dream world but an architect of perfectly impossible worlds who presents the structurally unthinkable as though it were a law of nature The resting dimensional and perspectival illusions bring us into confrontation with the limitations of our sensory perception
