By making thought-provoking art.Escher created pictures where you don't know where you are as a spectator. He used in a way the same ideas as cubism, mixing the perspectives, the directions from which you look. In another way Escher is continuing the ideas of Piranesi who circa 18oo - Italy, Rome -made also architectural constructions of inns or big inside buildings in which the stairs had different directions and floors, so you could go in different perspectives. It is playing around with space!Escher was very much educated in mathematics and used this background for his art. He had a lot of connections with mathematicians in his time.
M.C. Escher primarily worked with lithography, woodcut, and mezzotint techniques to produce his intricate prints. He often used high-quality paper and ink to achieve the sharp details and vivid contrasts in his artwork. His process involved meticulous planning and mathematical principles to create the visually complex patterns and tessellations for which he is renowned. Escher's unique blend of art and mathematics allows for a seamless interplay of perspective and illusion in his works.
