M. C. Escher - Monnaie de Paris (English Edition)

Catalogue of the M.C. Escher exhibition, presented at the Musée de la Monnaie, Paris (15 November 2025 – 22 February 2026).

Through more than a hundred works, the catalogue devoted to M.C. Escher traces the entire artistic career of the Dutch engraver (1898–1972), from his early training and travels in Italy to the complex technical experiments that made him an artist admired even in scientific circles.

The volume reconstructs the visual and conceptual universe of M. C. Escher: a space where nature, art, science and mathematics intertwine in a fascinating and dizzying balance.

His works—true architectures of the imagination—continue to influence our contemporary view and have entered our collective imagination through textbooks, magazines, design, and pop culture. Trained as a graphic artist, he produced approximately 450 prints, each characterised by his distinctive style and extraordinary precision.

His creations appeal not only to art lovers, but also to those with a passion for geometry, mathematics, visual sciences, architecture and graphic design.

This catalogue is much more than a simple exhibition companion: it is a comprehensive guide to the world of M.C. Escher, where imagination meets geometry and reality bends to the laws of infinity.
