Visual Reflection

Maurits Cornelis Escher(1898.6.17-1972.3.27)was a unique artist in the 20 th century,and Escher combined art and science perfectly,embodying a profound philosophical meaning under the rational rule structure.So mathematicians,physicists,and psychologists are generally used to explain Escher from their own perspective or to explain their theories with Escher.Escher is famous for his works of art inspired by mathematics,which are characterized by flat mosaics,impossible structures,paradoxes,cycles,and so on,both artistic and scientific.Escher’s work has incredible magic,conquering people’s hearts,Escher’s unique style of painting has long been regarded as heresy in the art world,and critics often do not know where to put him,so he can be ignored.But his work was admired by mathematicians,and then his paintings became popular among young people and established their unshakable status around the world.
