M.C. Escher-
"The appeal of MC Escher's fantasy and paradoxial inventiveness is
universal, yet mathematicians admire the strict principles underlying
his manipulation of space, time and perspective. His drawings are
enjoyed for their whimsical humour, admired as works of art for their
strength and intricacy, and studied for the insights and the challenges
they offer to our notions of reality and representation." - JL Locher -
