M.C. Escher. The Graphic Work, published by Taschen in 2016, is a richly illustrated art monograph that showcases the celebrated Dutch graphic artist’s mind‑bending designs. This hardcover picture book is geared toward both young adults and adults who appreciate visual art and mathematical inspiration.
The 96‑page volume offers a concise, non‑fiction overview of Escher’s most iconic prints, with full‑color reproductions that highlight his intricate patterns and impossible constructions. As a collector’s item from a reputable art publisher, it serves as an accessible introduction to Escher’s legacy.
The book arrives in its original dust jacket and features high‑quality illustrations throughout, making it a striking addition to any art library or coffee‑table display. Its sturdy binding and tidy pages reflect the care taken in its production.
Condition is very good: the dust jacket shows light scuffing and minor marks, and the cover page has slight page‑edge rubbing, but the interior pages are clean, free of writing or dog‑ears, and the binding remains tight. It comes from a smoke‑free home.
