In my view Escher is a very particular kind of artist. He has found a niche for himself, which, I think, has not been an important influence on mainstream art.
The study of art is a study of a product produced by and embodying the spirit of mankind, therefore studying the object or concept is a study of all things human.

Tessellations incorporate art into mathematical patterns.Escher was fascinated by topography, the study of surfaces, a branch of mathematics. In many of his works, he uses the concept of the Penrose triangle, or "impossible triangle," first designed by the mathematician Roger Penrose. There is also a relationship to the Möbius strip, the single sided loop of material. Escher also used a technique that mathematician study called tesselation.
