M. C. Escher

"The Dutch artist M.C. Escher created some of the most celebrated and extraordinary imags in twentieth-century art . . . hippies claimed him as the godfather of psychedelic art. His work is ripe for rediscovery and reappraisal - this exhibition is the largest ever held in the UK - nearly 100 of Escher's greatest drawings and prints. Based on the world-renowned M.C. Escher collection at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, the Netherlands, it has been organised by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, and tours to Dulwich Picture Gallery in London." - Colophon
