“Other artists pursue beauty, I pursue wonder.”
Have you seen this film: "MC Escher: Journey to Infinity"? I enjoyed it. It’s a celebration of printmaking: woodcuts, lithography, mezzotint, tesselations! It's the playful but serious life story of the fabulous draftsman and incredibly inventive printmaker MC Escher, with animations that de-construct his work and inspirations.
