M.C.Escher
All around, there is an abundance of "mysteries," and they work tirelessly each day to unravel their secrets. Among these, the works of Dutch printmaker M.C. Escher (1898-1972) continue to captivate many people even today.
In this exhibition, over 150 works by Escher are showcased, spanning from his early creations to his iconic masterpieces. The aim is to present the complete scope of his artistic journey, which has been a driving force behind today's optical illusion art trend, and delve into the enigmatic secrets of his art.
Furthermore, an experiential section is introduced that utilizes optical illusions and principles of vision to enhance the enjoyment of his works. By physically experiencing the fun of these tricks, visitors will gain a deeper appreciation of Escher's unique perspective.
