Welcome to a curated gallery dedicated to the master of the impossible, Maurits Cornelis Escher. While the world generally knows him as MC Escher, his legacy spans far beyond a simple name. Whether you are a lifelong admirer of Escher art or a new student of his mind-bending geometry, our collection of Escher prints and MC Escher framed art offers a gateway into a universe where logic and fantasy intertwine.
The Artist: Maurits Cornelis
Born in the Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher (often phonetically searched by fans as Em C Escher or Anglicized as Maurice Escher) was a graphic artist who became obsessed with the mathematical limits of visual representation. He wasn't just a draftsman; he was a visionary. When you look at Escher portrait works or an Escher self portrait, you see the eyes of a man who saw the world differently. He is often celebrated as a bridge between the art world and the scientific world—an Escher mathematician at heart who used a pencil instead of a calculator.
Defining the Style: Op Art, Illusions, and Mathematics
The Escher art style is distinct and instantly recognizable. It is characterized by "impossible objects," explorations of infinity, and Escher optical illusion techniques that defy gravity. While many search for an artist like Escher or artists similar to Escher, the truth is that MC Escher works of art are singular. He is often associated with the Escher Op Art movement, though he predates and transcends it.
His fascination with tessellation—the tiling of a plane—was heavily inspired by his visits to Spain. The Escher Alhambra connection is undeniable; the intricate geometric patterns he saw there influenced the famous Escher reptiles and Escher birds prints that lock together in perfect symmetry.

Relativity & Staircases: Perhaps his most iconic image is Escher Relativity, the mind-boggling depiction of a world with multiple gravity sources.

We offer the MC Escher Relativity print in various formats for those who want to get lost in the Escher labyrinth of steps.

Water & Worlds: Another favorite is Escher Waterfall, a perpetual motion machine on paper. For nature lovers, MC Escher Three Worlds (or simply Escher Three Worlds) offers a serene yet complex look at a koi pond, capturing the surface, reflection, and depths simultaneously. The MC Escher 3 Worlds print is a subtle masterpiece of Escher lithography.
-
Transformation: The Escher Metamorphosis series is legendary. From the massive Escher Metamorphosis poster to smaller Escher Metamorphosis print options, these Escher designs show shapes evolving from one form to another across the canvas.
-
Duality: Works like Day and Night by Escher (also known as Day and Night by MC Escher) showcase his mastery of contrast. The transformation of white birds into black fields in Day and Night Escher prints is a perfect example of Concave and Convex Escher principles playing out in 2D. Speaking of which, the Concave and Convex MC Escher print is a masterclass in perspective.
-
Other Worlds: We also stock Another World Escher (or Another World MC Escher), a piece that combines his fascination with space and architecture.
