MC Escher was born Mauritis Cornelis Escher in a small village in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. he was born into a fairly wealthy family and was admitted to a primary school failed out then he went to a secondary school and did the same. he wasn't very smart but he was a very talented artist and soon enrolled in haarlem school of architecture and decorative arts. where he soon fell behind in the architecture part of school due to a skin infection. however he excelled in the decorative arts part of the curriculum. he made friends with his professor whom he became dear friends with. after school he meet a women by the name of Jetta Umiker who he married soon after.he had a very succesful carrer after the fact that he lived through 2 world wars and Nazi and Italian invasions and take overs.he had produced many intricate and "trippy" works that have stunned and amazed people over the years.

Lots of my friends at Drury (and one of my favorite cousins) studied architecture and all of them seemed to like Escher. His style is distinct and all his own. Such talent.
