"One of the most popular artists of the 20th century, M. C. Escher, leaves a
rich legacy. The centennial celebration of his birth, held in Rome and Ravello
in 1998, gave testimony to the keen interest and new insight into his work, and
showcased a number of contemporary artists and scientists whose work is directly
inspired by that of Escher." This book contains 40 of their articles,
illustrated with original art works in addition to well-known and little-known
works by Escher.
