Escher’s curiosity and insight continue to inspire mathematicians, scientists, and artists who seek solutions to mathematical and artistic problems posed by Escher himself.Īdmission to this program is free. The presentation outlines the transformation geometry that governs his interlocking figures and reveals how this “math anxious” artist conducted pioneering mathematical research to accomplish his artistic goals. No math knowledge is needed to enjoy this talk about the concepts in Escher’s work. Again and again, he strived to capture infinity. Escher was fascinated by-and a master at-depicting symmetry, duality, reflection, relativity, recursion, dimension, and topological change. Escher’s graphic work not only makes obvious use of geometry but often provides visual metaphors for abstract mathematical concepts.
