1. M.C. Escher: The Master of Tessellation Art

One cannot discuss famous artists and their contributions to tessellation art without mentioning the legendary M.C. Escher. Born in the Netherlands in 1898, Escher is widely regarded as the pioneer and master of tessellation art. His intricate and mind-boggling tessellations have captivated audiences for decades, and his unique style continues to inspire artists to this day.

2. Escher's Contributions and Techniques

Escher's contributions to tessellation art are immeasurable. He not only popularized the art form but also developed innovative techniques that pushed the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. One of his most notable techniques was the use of interlocking shapes, particularly animals and birds, to create seamless and mesmerizing patterns. Escher's tessellations often featured i

From then on, I wanted to do just one design that could stand unashamed alongside those of The Master.

How hard could it be? ... H’mmmmm ... ? Where do you even start?

Later, around 1996, after doing a few tesses myself, I recorded this feeling in rhyme on my website:

Once I saw a sketch by Escher: Sky and Water is its name
It’s Ducks and Fishes actually, but precious just the same.
Those beasties blew my brainbox – I was never so impressed:
So then I tried to tessellate – Put Escher under pressure, Mate! –
Well, excel those at any rate: to better Escher’s best!

(It continues, as you may see on my site.)

It took me until 1993 to manage even one respectable tess, and then it happened not by effort but by a chance perception ...

... One day I was at a boring meeting, doodling stick-figure Kangaroos, and suddenly I saw that the space above the back and tail of a west-facing Kangaroo could neatly fit the southern coast of Australia’s map. Then I found that three more, with persuasion, could define the

M. C. Escher

Dutch graphic artist (1898–1972)

Maurits Cornelis Escher (;^[1]Dutch:[ˈmʌurɪtskɔrˈneːlɪsˈɛɕər]; 17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972) was a Dutch graphic artist who made woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints, many of which were inspired by mathematics. Despite wide popular interest, for most of his life Escher was neglected in the art world, even in his native Netherlands. He was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. In the late twentieth century, he became more widely appreciated, and in the twenty-first century he has been celebrated in exhibitions around the world.

His work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, truncated and stellated polyhedra, hyperbolic geometry, and tessellations. Although Escher believed he had no mathematical ability, he interacted with the mathematicians George Pólya, Roger Penrose, and Donald Coxeter, and the crystallographerFriedrich Haag, and conducted his own research into tessellation.
