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