Sachs Collection\u2019 is a comprehensive look at the creative oeuvre of a unique twentieth-century master, offering a fresh perspective on Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher's enigmatic and timeless work.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Born in the Netherlands, M.C. Escher (1898-1972) is internationally known for his, as he described it, \u2018mental images\u2019 that connect to mathematics and various branches of science. Considered a one-man art movement, he remained outside the established art circuit and is treasured today for his mind-blowing works. His visual language explores the relationships between art and science, order and disorder, and logic and irrationality, presenting complex compositions of multidimensional alternate realities.<\/p>\n<p>Compiled from the collection of Michael S. Sachs - the most extensive Escher collection in the world - this survey of the artist's work includes more than five hundred objects, including prints, drawings, watercolors, printed fabrics, built-up objects, wooden and linoleum blocks, lithographic stones, sketchbooks, and the artist's tools. Scholarly essays offer new insights into Escher's iconic and idiosyncratic work, discuss the artist's background and creative practice, examine the mathematical foundations of his use of geometric models, and reflect on the ways in which his carefully crafted images are imbued with the element of wonder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nTitle: Virtual Realities: The Art of M.
