Biography

Dutch artist known for exquisitely weird perspectives in his etchings. He had a poor school record and was a shy youth, not robust; his dad put him in architecture school in 1919. He immediately switched to art where he found his own world, working on woodcuts up to 1922. Escher moved to Italy to study and married there in 1924; the first of three kids born in 1926. He sketched, drew and painted, developing his skills. It was not until 1951 that he began to gain recognition and draw any appreciable income from his prints. Escher left Fascist Italy in 1935 to Switzerland for a year, Brussels in 1937 and Holland in 1941.

Escher died 3/27/1971, Hilversum, Netherlands.
