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.
