Escher was a graphic artist. He differentiated between being an artist and a graphic artist.
M.C. Escher took a trip to Spain and was greatly influenced by the Alhambra Mosque there, with its many tesselations
M C Escher studied at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem. However, Escher gave up architecture in favour of graphics when he was of 21.
Hope this helps :)
his father ands school teachers i was looking for other people he was influenced by for my art report but might as well answer this too =)
MC Escher was born in 1898. He died in 1972 which means he was 73 when he died.
Most of his works are prints. He used wood engravings and lithography.
He often used paradoxes in his works. In 1936, he began to explore the studies of mathematics and often used them in his works. Escher produced works that had various viewpoints and intepretations.
