Escher Art

I have always been fascinated by the optical illusions that were created by Escher. He saw the world differently from so many people, but his drawings and creations boggle the mind.

When we were at the Alhambra, we saw an informative exhibit about how Escher created his drawings. As we visited other venues in Spain, we found samples of Escher-esque art throughout. The pictured floor from Toledo was the best of the floor mosaics created long before Escher, but probably studied by him. Take time to examine the floor and its illusions . . . incredible, we think.
