Maurits Cornelis Escher (Mc Escher), born-June 17, 1898 and died- March 27, 1972. The period of art he did was extraordinarily unique, and he did not have a certain time period he painted or drew, but he designed his own art period, he was a modernist . Mc Escher is one of the most famous artist of our time period, he is known for many of the painting you probably seen in a art museum or online. Some of Mc Escher’s paintings include his so-called “impossible constructions” Ascending and Descending and Relativity.
Escher also contributed to math in a way his art was graphed and designed even though he had no education past secondary schooling. Mathematics saw and loved his techniques the way they were graphed

None of these paintings were of a certain time period , He was a modernist inspired by math. One technique of his is the one called “ watercolor” now watercolor can be easy or difficult just depends on what your strong or weak in. Escher’s watercolor art was a series of 137 paintings. These paintings would inspire woodcut artist and lithographs. Mc escher contributed very much to his art he had been perfecting his art all his life, since he was a child to after he married and became a father. Around the time he started painting and drawing was a crazy part of history World War 2 was around then but Escher was in italy about that time.
Mc Escher's woodcut art was a series of 448 projects, Escher did not create his first woodcut till 1919. Back then wood was expensive so when escher would do his woodcut art he would use very small pieces of wood.

His art is unique but i think it was repeated one to many times. I also think Escher should of done more personal paintings and drawings. As a modernist Escher created a series of illusions in his art, every different time you admire his art you can find something new or you can see it from a different way. And the detail he puts is extraordinary and very well placed. Honestly i hope one day my art will be as amazing as Escher’s. Art was extremely unique but very inspiring his story tells me that if you just push an not give up you can become great as your own artist because no one is perfect at art it's just a talent you have. My basic opinion is Mc Escher is a very unique an brilliant artist. Doing this report an looking at Escher's art has shown me art isn't something you do for fun but it's something you do to change a life, to inspire some other future artist, to make a life out of. Escher's art isn't just amazing or brilliant but it's beautiful an inspiring and it shows so much an some tells a story not much but some. You can even create a story out of his art because it's so mesmerising. My opinion may be random but that's because Escher is a random artist to me you can't fully explain what you think of his art or of
Regardless of taste, an appreciator of art should be able to recognize when an artist exerts a large amount of effort and expresses a great amount of creativity. Understanding the concepts incorporated by truly talented artists helps the viewer better understand art in general. Both Van Eyck and Velasquez are examples of artists that stood out in their time due to their unique vision and their innovative style, and are therefore remembered, recognized, and praised even centuries after their works were completed.
It seems to be his style of painting, thick brush strokes. It is not simple, there is much to the painting, there is emotion in the painting. It is a stunning piece made by him.
Georges Seurat was a French born artist born on December 2nd 1859 in Paris, Frrance. He study at École des Beaux-Art, which was one of the most prestige art schools in the world, which is also known for training many of the renounced artist we know. George Seurat left the École des Beaux-Art and began to work on his own; he began to visit impressionist exhibitions, where he gained inspiration from the impressionist painters, such as Claude Monet. Seurat also was interested in the science of art; he explored perception, color theory and the psychological effect of line and form. Seurat experimented with all the ideas he had gained, he felt the need to go beyond the impressionist style, he started to focus on the permanence of paintin...
Erik Nitsche is a graphic designer whose successful career spanned everything from corporate identity to packaging design. He left a mark during his sixty year career as a designer and had a distinct style when it came to design. He said himself that he “was a Swiss in the graphic arts.” He walked into well-known places and got work immediately (Heller.) Nitsche held this heritage responsible for getting him where he was. Even though he may not be as well known as other designers, like Saul Bass and Paul Rand, he is said to be their equal (Heller.) Overall, Nitsche was an art director, graphic design, photographer, package designer, and illustrator who was known for his posters, advertisements, logos, magazine covers, book designs, and more.
I noticed a lot of his works has to do with the principle of art. Many of the art has shapes, repetition, directions, lines, gradations, color and sizes. Kelly’s art has changed my aspect because I didn’t think shapes would be consider as art. What I noticed is for the sculptor he had made it is also using shaped and different colors coordinating. What is even more interesting is each shaped are different sizes and shapes. The sides of each shapes are different measure and width. The name of the sculpture is called “Sculptor for a large wall” Each piece of his artwork represents a meaning. Two of Kelly’s art has repetition and lines in the art. They are called “Cite” and “The Mechers”. Cite is beige with black lines and they are all different directions but the patterns continues throughout the art. The Mercher is used by oil paint and it is green and blue. Mercher is also the same thing like cite but different
Escher’s work has significance far past its aesthetic value. As an untrained mathematician, he explored some of the most sophisticated constructs in topology and geometry before they were properly understood. His work is unconventional, mind-boggling, and inspiring.
Since the 7th grade, I have been a huge fan of the famous French-inspired realist and expressionist, Edvard Munch. His work is so full of passion and pain as well as shock and sadness. By gazing into the gloriously deep world of emotion he created, art lovers both young and old are amazed and drawn in.
...he engraved. Using his emotions in an artistic way brought out the best in his talents and made his work great.
Leonhard Euler was an outstanding mathematician. He was born on April 15, 1707 in the old city of Basel in Switzerland. His father Paul Euler was a Calvinist priest and an amateur mathematician. His early education and training was based on theology and related subjects. Because his father wants him to become a priest. That’s why he entered the University of Basel to study theology and Hebrew. At the age thirteen, he graduated from the University in philosophy major. Fortunately, famous University professor Johann Bernoulli recognized his early extraordinary ability in mathematics and physics. Who also gave him a private lesson in mathematics every Saturday afternoon. Johann Bernoulli soon realized that Euler would become a great mathematician
The painting was done near the beginning of the twentieth century when science was developing at a rapid rate. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was gaining ground at the time. Malevich's painting seemed to borrow from this theory that attempted to explain relative motion. His suprematism style attempted to capture a neo-realism in painting portraying pure feeling and perception. This new style was communicated by the discarding of natural references. Malevich grew tired of painting in the traditional style with everything looking and feeling the way they are in life. His new style tried to free viewer from their traditional a priori views concerning shape and colors imposed on them by their senses. Suprematist style focuses was on depictions of movement and dynamism. Flight and anti-gravity fascinated Malevich. Much of his paintings were a top down view of the subjects arranged on a white background. The white background represents infinite space, while the subjects were reduced to geometric blocks. The message of the paintings comes out in the relative position of the blocks to the background. The infinite background of the paintings is to divorce the paintings from the finite earth. Malevich himself said that his paintings "do not belong to the earth exclusively." The paintings sought to transcend to a different level. Malevich's suprematist style sought to take people to the fourth dimension, which was pure sensation.
There is no argument that one of the greatest mathematicians of all time came out of Switzerland in the Eighteenth Century, by the name of Leonhard Euler (1707-1783). Switzerland was the birthplace to many pioneers in mathematics during this time, but Leonhard Euler is widely thought of as the most significant of them all. Euler’s many publications had a decisive influence on the development of mathematics, such an influence that it is still being felt to this day. He worked in basically all areas of math, such as number theory, algebra, geometry, calculus and probability. Euler also did a lot of work in physics including continuum physics and lunar theory. Euler was a true renaissance man, who studied and made discoveries in a vast number of subjects, and his theories are still being taught and studied. There is no denying that Leonhard Euler is one of the founding fathers of mathematics and modern science.
Henri Matisse was a French Artist during the Cubist and Fauvist period, which influenced his art greatly. Although he was primarily known as a painter, he was also a printmaker, sculptor, and draughtsman. His piece Mademoiselle Yvonne Landsberg resembles that of a print; however, it is in oil painting. Mademoiselle Yvonne Landsberg is believed to have been a piece in which Matisse was experimenting with new ideas and methods, as this painting appears to be very labor intensive. There are multiple parts of the painting where Matisse scraped away layers of paint and leave behind lines that parallel cross-hatching. The aspect of the painting that is different from other cubist pieces of the time are the lines that emanate from the Mlle Landsberg, thought to be a depiction of her movement while the piece was being made.
Dürer became extremely interested in making new art, based upon mathematics, as it would become the backbone of his art and a pillar of his legacy. in 1495 Dürer visited Venice, he would return to Nuremberg with Euclid’s Elements and Vitruvius’ De Architectura as the basis of his studies. This was the beginning of Dürer’s perspective experiments and mathematical human proportion. The Venetian artist Jacob de Barbari came to Nuremberg to assist Dürer with those new studies, as Dürer would create a series of drawings leading up to his famous Adam and Eve (1504) engraving, showing his full und...
He later became interested in physics, through the inspiration of Dirac, Turing and Godel. He attended their lectures at Cambridge and found them fascinating. However, he continued his works in mathematics, receiving a Ph.D in Algebraic Geometry. He is famous for his aperiodic tilings, his collaboration with Stephen Hawking on black holes, and especially for his books on consciousness such as The Emporer's New Mind. A less-well-known achievement on his part was the development of twistor geometry, a concept that will be explained in further depth later on.
What if I told you that there was no such thing as graphs? Although they are often put on the shelf, we use graphs in everyday life. Whether it is to manage a budget, enjoy a sporting event at the next level, or find things that lack equality; life is made easier with the help of graphs. Because they are so important, I think the man who invented them, William Playfair, is the best mathematical philosopher to ever step foot on Earth. Playfair changed the world by creating three main types of graphs/charts, and writing many influential mathematical articles, pamphlets, and books.
