Maurits Cornelis Escher
View through CrossRef
In 1958, the Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) published his book Regelmatige Vlakverdeling (The Regular Division of the Plane), including perfect tessellations where shapes or combinations of shapes interlock to cover the plane. In this paper, we analyse the geometry behind Escher’s tessellations, transition devices, and an interesting interaction between Escher and the British mathematical physicist and philosopher Roger Penrose (1931-, Nobel Lau- reate in 2020).
