Summary: mind-bending
Comment: Most artists challenge us to reconsider things within the context of certain boundaries. Those rare artists such as Escher challenge us to reconsider the idea of boundaries themselves. The mathematician Bruno Ernst classified Escher's work into 11 categories: 1-regular spatial figures, 2-regular division of the plane, 3-spirals, 4-Mobius strips, 5-perspective, 6-metamorphoses and cycles, 7-approaches to infinity, 8-the conflict between depicting something on a plane and the three-dimensional reality which is depicted, 8-the penetration of more worlds, 10-spatial anomalies (impossible figures), 11-relativities. The book includes not only, as the title indicates, a good biography of Escher and all his graphic work, but a most interesting essay by Escher himself wherein he outlines his poetics, so to speak, and his general worldview very nicely, entitled appropriately enough, The Regular Division of the Plane. A must have.
