M.C. Escher: Rhythm of Illusion
Hodge & Temporary
Exhibition Galleries
M.C. Escher: Rhythm of Illusion represents a cross section of prints
and drawings by M.C. Escher, one of the most popular and intriguing
artists of the 20th century. His work evolved from careful observation
of the physical world, metamorphosing shapes and objects into different
forms, and creating impossible architectural fantasies appealing
to the imagination. The exhibition explores Escher's famous perspective-bending
prints, as well as his lesser-known early works. Examples of preparatory
drawings, which allow the viewer to explore the artist's process
alongside his completed works are also included. Organized by the
Portland Art Museum, Oregon, this exhibition includes 80 works of
art through themes such as forms in space, experiments in perspective,
landscape and fantasy scenes.
